Day 4 – 7th August
The day started pleasantly enough on board Paloma with breakfast followed by a tender ride to the “Amazing Cave” . The cave has three chambers and is over a Hectare in total size. While we had lunch back on board Paloma headed back to the Halong Bay port , into an increasing wind and sea. After disembarking it was back on the bus to Hanoi. Shortly after that it was onto another bus for the airport. It was a tiring day of travel as it turned out. On checking in at the airport we were to discover my ticket was not valid due to an incorrect spelling of my name ! After purchasing a new ticket , the price of which our tour agent would later refund , we were on our way. On arriving at Hue we were met by our driver for the short trip to the Asia hotel . Arriving late at night 3/4 of our party were still hungry so we went to the “Missy Roo” cafe for spring rolls and drinks. The tropics are very pleasant at night.
