Cat Ba is a nice little tourist island...most of what they do is cater to tourists. Like most things in Vietnam, the tourist industry gets the minimum of maintenance. We shoulda known something wasn't right when the Gastonguay-Beaudry's said they weren't coming! Either they have planted tracking devices on us, or they disabled the boat we were on...I NEVER should have told them were we were going! Sure enough, an hour out the boat stops...mysteriously disabled! We are stranded in the middle of the channel for 5 hours...never get to see any of the stuff on the tour! BUT...and really it's a small but (not like Bob's butt! hahahahahahahaha), we did get to see some nice scenery...
...this is part of Halong Bay...one of the most picturesque maritime areas in the world...this is all we saw...
...5 hours of this...
...and this...
...some of this...
...and this...
...and some guy went swimming...took 2 jumps to break through the ice...I got the second one!...
...and then Cassandra paddled off into the sunset with some guy named Toby...TOBY!...
...this is them coming back...SMOKING CIGARETTES!...
...she couldn't get the smile off her face after that...hmmmmmmm...
...Cassandra and a German girl led the mutiny...Mr. Corona had better things to do...I had to pee...we were put off the boat as troublemakers...and had to ride back to town in this...
...we got back to the town at 5...the rest of the morons didn't get back until 7, and the second boat broke down too! Cassandra almost got into a fight with the new captain, but Mr. Corona stepped in and saved the day...well, actually, that's when we got thrown off the boat. But I did good...REALLY!...I need a drink!
