After a rather extended intermission here is the long awaited Act II of my three weeks journey through Vietnam and Cambodia. When we last left this adventure I was returning from a trip in northern Vietnam. Now I’m headed to the coastal region of Halong Bay.

Last weekend I took a ride to the coast and hung out on the beach for two days. Rumor has it that it used to be a big pirate island and there is still some buried booty located somewhere on it. I had other priorities: taking in some lovely equatorial sunshine.
