We caught the 11a.m. public bus to Cat Ba National Park. We were proud of ourselves fighting off local hasselers telling us the bus wasn't working today & it's better to rent a motorcycle. Keeyah!
On the way to the park a bunch of local kids were let out of school & swarmed the streets. Soon a bunch of them were on our bus. It was LOUD & an unexpected experience:)
It cost 80,000 dong ($3.70) for both of us to enter the park.
It took about an hour to hike Dinh Ham Long (Peak).
We had time to kill since the bus would come around @ 4p.m. We took in the spectacular lush views, took photos, spilt our cheese ritz crackers, did some yoga & reflection.
We finally got to use our Keen boots which made it easier trekking up the hundreds of steep rocky steps.
On our way back we stopped for a popsicle & Tiger Beer & made friends with 2 dogs:)
We were waiting for a hiking adventure like this on our trip. We are glad Cat Ba delivered. Life is good!
