Taiwan, East Asia


Tam Coc is described as the fresh water Ha Long Bay, so we took a day trip to see it and a few old Pagoda's. It was very beautiful and we didn't have to think for ourselves, which is what day tripping is all about, I believe.
     

This sign informed us on our way in that the forest is impotant, so I don't know how all that flora and fauna got there!


Pagoda, temple, pagoda, temple, yes very beautiful but there can be a sense of 'deja vu' after a while

And if you're not looking at temples or pagoda's then chances are you'll definitely need to buy something.

 
This was meant to be a leisurely trip down the river, our captain on the left was a widow from the war, the guy in the middle was just too cool. They saw the size of us and decided that there was no way they were going to power us up the river, so they got Wayne on the case, lucky they didn't ask me!
     
     
This is for Catriona's dad, because he likes buffalo.
Three people paddling meant we were travelling at quite a rate.
Through the tunnels, very amusing for the Vietnamese, I have no doubt that we were rowed into the lowest part of the caves.
