Day 8 - Halong Bay to Hoi An - May 4

Foggy start to the morning with a thai chi class for the energetic up on deck:
 Important conversation:


Wonderful walk through a sandstone cave the ceiling of which used to be lapped by the sea - when the sea was 25m higher than it is now.
Huge cathedral like caverns.



 Shrine in an isolated cave in a rock island:
After the cruise we drove to Hai Phong and then flew to Da Nang.  Then private transfer to Hoi An and checked into the Boutique Hotel, Hoi An.
Alf fell down three stairs on the way to dinner and broke both arms! Note to self: don’t try to set up new hotel wifi connection while walking.
Luckily nurse Shayne jumped into action and decided he had to go to hospital. The receptionist rang ahead and ensured an English speaking Doctor was there. The left the hotel at 9pm and by 10:30pm they were back with two casts and a bandaid.  Great service!
