Halong Bay is a town three hours north of Hanoi, and is steeped in Vietnamese mythology. The mountains are rumoured to be the leftover remains of dragons which came from the sky to aid the Vietnamese in their struggle against the Chinese. My guide told me the next day that a dragon had come into his bedroom the night before to tell him to thank us for visiting LOL.. I cracked that I've had a few dragons visit my bedroom too, but only when I'm wasted. The joke was lost in translation. :)
We only spent one day and night there, cruising the bay by day and visiting the caves and then we had a party in our hotel that night - everybody let loose the antics were untold. We played drinking games - one bloke had his girlfriend's dress on, another gave our guide a lap dance, and another still admitted to a foursome. Ahh, drinking games always bring out the best in people.
