Vietnam & Cambodia Photo TourSailing Halong Bay now in Hue - April 19th & 20th, 2015
Two days entries this evening to catch you up on our travels and photography here in Vietnam. Last night we stayed on-board our ship in Halong Bay and there is no internet available on the bay so tonight we have a few a few extra photos to share.
We enjoyed beautiful weather and a beautiful cruise out on Halong Bay. We have the ship to ourselves and had many opportunities for some great images. While out on the bay we visited the floating fishing village and the beautiful caves, called Surprise Caves.
We arrived back on shore around 11:30 this morning and made our way back to Hanoi, enroute we made several stops for photography and lunch. This evening we flew from Hanoi to Hue. We are now traveling further south and will be in this region for the next three days. Tomorrow we will be photographing and sailing on the perfume river, the Forbidden City then make our way towards Da Nang and Hoi An.
Enjoy tonights selection of images.
