Cat
Ba: not the most beautiful place in the world, but we felt
safe there from the hoards of street sellers on the main land so we
stayed 4 days and enjoyed the peace....
Getting
there was a bit of a nightmare, I had visions of the Haiphong enormous
raticus crawling out the sewers ready to eat me alive....
...and
then Wayne wasn't welcome....
...thank
goodness for the sunset.
By
the time we got to Cat Ba we had done our fair share of tours helping
to boost the local VD (Vietnam Dong), we tried to stay away from it
as much as possible thereafter, but couldn't resist the boat trip
- 10 hours lounging on a boat with the odd dip, that's okay.
