Our Hanoi
travel consultant at Madam Moon's in Hanoi
booked us on a two day cruise of Ha Long Bay on the Alova Gold.
The Alova Gold is a newer,
immaculately clean boat which accommodates up to 12 passengers, (which we found
to be a nice number). Our room was not cramped and had a picture window. The
bathroom was clean and modern and had a separate shower with lots of hot water.
The meals were really good with
more food than we could comfortably finish.
The weather was cool and rainy,
but in some ways that added to the mystique, as the dramatic landforms loomed
out of the mist.
The first afternoon we went
kayaking into caves which were very interesting. As cool as the air was, the
water must be fairly warm, as some of our party finished up with a swim.
Then it was on to happy hour; we
recommend the passion fruit Martinis.
The next morning we walked
through an extensive and dramatic cave system before returning to Ha Long bay
for a so-so lunch on shore.
This is really a 24 hour cruise
and when the weather is nicer, it might be nice to do a two night cruise, but
this trip suited us very well. The price was very reasonable in fact I would
say cheap) considering the high level of accommodation and the quality of the
meals. Highly recommended.
