Paradise Peak Ship, Halong Bay

Champagne Johnny strikes again. We are cruising Halong Bay on a large ship that has just 8 rooms. Everyone has a butler, they have a small spa and gym, and dining both inside and outside. We're having lunch here. Our room and bathroom are huge, larger than our last hotel room and we have a private sun deck with lounge chairs.

Halong Bay is dotted with about 2000 limestone karsts which we explored by kayak today. Many also have caves that you can kayak through, and the scenes of the rocks, caves and vegetation from close up on the water - just breathtaking.
