The first stop of our cruise was Thien Cung Cave, or surprise cave, where we explored beautiful natural formations of stalactites and stalagmites and were amazed by the historical artifacts, paintings, and carvings that decorated the cave walls. Next, we sailed to the tranquil waters of the bay while we enjoyed a delicious lunch and some time to soak up the beauty around us. After lunch, we visited a local pearl farm, where we learned about the process of pearl producing and got to admire the shimmering pearls that were harvested from the bay. To end our time on the water, we took a sunset boat trip into the bay, admiring the vibrant hues that the sky had taken on as the sun made its decent.

Today is Day 4 of our journey through Vietnam and the adventure just keeps getting better! We woke up to a gorgeous sunrise over Ha Long Bay and then took a cruise through the magical bay to explore some of the limestone islets and caves hidden within its waters. We got to relax as we were surrounded by the most beautiful and tranquil scenery. In the late afternoon, we participated in a Tai Chi session on the sundeck, learning the calming movements of this ancient Chinese practice. After our session, we headed to Titop Island to take in some more amazing panoramic views of Ha Long Bay. As the sun set, we hopped back on the boat to head back to our hotel in Hanoi. On the ride, we watched the vibrant colors of the setting sun slowly morph into the stars of the dark night. We made it to Hanoi just in time to unwind before another busy day ahead.
