Vietnam 2008

Friday21November

We leave Tam Coc for Hai Phong.

A little cut?

We embark for Cat Ba Island located in Halong Bay.

We are in Cat Ba National Park. And we're going to climb all the way up there

Ouch ouch ouch !!! We still have to climb all that!  

Would there be anyone who would be afraid of heights???  

We arrive in the evening in the town of Cat Ba.

An eagle on the lookout.

The horseshoe crab (from scientific Latin limulus) is a marine euarthropod of the Limulidae family. Considered a "living fossil", its group seems to have hardly evolved for more than 500 million years. It is not a crustacean but a chelicerate like spiders and scorpions. The horseshoe crab is considered in Vietnam as the crab of lovers, because the male attaches himself strongly to the female. Both must be consumed with the loved one

The covered market of Cat Ba.

Opposite the town of Tam Ca, the floating fishing village.

It's high class, I have my feet in the Pacific! and more precisely in the China Sea.  

In the middle of bowls of rice and fish fritters, a pizza!!! Well actually, it feels good!!!
