China and look at the amount of people we have obviously they're not all going on out cruise ship I think our cruise ship holds about 14 people could be wrong don't hold me on that so what actually happens is the tour company will pick you up via shuttle from your hotel in Hanoi and it's a 2 and 1/2 hour trip out to the coast to the Gulf of tonen and the City of halong where you will disembark on a tender boat out to your cruise ship it's crowded it was hot but it was well worth the wait once we found out our little surprise going to tell the people back at home what's going on just on the tender on the way out to our cruise um we' just found out that our cruise has actually been upgraded so we now have a swimming pool all the Bell so we booked this trip several months before and we actually booked it with a company called era Cruisers which led to some confusion as we got onto the tender boat that was called Venus cruise we were thinking oh God we've got on the wrong boat and it turns out to our delightful surprise we were actually upgraded and Venus Cruise was part of the same company we were now on a fstar luxury Cruise you could imagine our excit this is fancy we just maned to B out cruise ship here Z we don't usually have this kind of luck this place looks uh quite fancy you can see the big grins on our faces Z okay Matt's about to go into our room oh this is our

halong Bay coincidentally 1969 was also the same year that President hoi men died so the Vietnamese hold a Superstition around this number just an interesting fact we thought oh we currently landed in Kaa Island here in halong Bay we're taking an electric car to a fishing Village oh oh oh and we've ENT the little cave catb bar Island was picturesque it was beautiful not even the overcast weather that day could spoil it for us two main ways to get around on katar Island I byy bicycle like these suckers here or in the ecar for smarter people kbar island has become a popular tourist destination in recent years it's a recognized UNESCO world heritage site the local government and the people take a lot of initiative into cleaning up the area and keeping it clean there's a lot of activities you can do on katar Island including snorkling scuba diving kaying we were taken to a traditional fishing Village we got to try some snake wine again and we generally just had a ball of time it was so cool 100% one 100% one for one time short oh it's [Music] one you want to what does it t you can also get a fish pedicure yeah that's right fish pedicure [Music] can't handle it it's so [Music] tickly
