Today we woke up to less than favorable weather. It was drizzling, and cold and completely misty. It appeared as though it was going to put a damper on our plans once again. After an extended breakfast of apple/pineapple fritters we decided we were going to tough it out anyway and make the most of our day. (those fritters were not as good as they sound; especially since they were supposed to be pancakes...oh well.)
We rented a couple of motorbikes and headed into the interior of Cat Ba island to the national park. It's named, quite cleverly, Cat Ba National Park. The park has a 9km hiking trail through it, which heads to the ocean. Fortunately the weather fined up and we were able to enjoy a dry trail! It was a great way to see some of the rain forest here and the really interesting rock outcroppings and moutains. All in all, it was a great day. I think the pictures explain a bit of the fun we had en route.
...nice climbing shoes Craig!
Tomorrow we're headed out to sleep on a junk...a boat. We've hired a boat to take us around Halong Bay, and we're planning to spend the night on it. Should be good!

The hooligans hanging on the vines make a pretty convincing argument for evolution!
It doesn't surprise me to see Brian swinging from the vines. I bet he was there before Craig was. I am glad you are having a great time. Love the blogs. Love Mom
