Jun 20, 2008 - Rock the Cat Ba

The second day and night of our trip was on Cat Ba Island, one of the largest of the 2000 islands in the middle of Halong Bay. ... We loved this part of the trip because we escaped the tour group and headed out to explore on our own! We rented a motorbike (a Honda, just like K's parents used to have!) to visit Cat Ba National Park. ... Aubrey was a little nervous about killing us both, but he had to "keep face" in front of the Vietnamese men, so we threw caution to the wind.The second day and night of our trip was on Cat Ba Island, one of the largest of the 2000 islands in the middle of Halong Bay. ...

Nov 27, 2006 - Cat Ba Island

Didn't sleep too bad considering, and it was great to open the curtains and look straight out at the islands surrounding the boat, this is such an awesome place. Then we meet up with another boat to take several mountain bikes on board, and head off for Viet Hai Harbour on one side of Cat Ba Island. ... A brief visit to see some monkies on another island, and then as the sun set we headed for civilisation at the main town on Cat Ba Island, where we are in this huge flash-ish hotel overlooking the local fishing fleet and floating fishermen's town, though not as nice a view as that may sound. ... The seafront is quite developed in a Mediterranean sort of way that is a bit surreal after Ha Long Bay, though Chinese development plans will take it an awful lot further.Didn't sleep too bad considering, and it was great to open the curtains and look straight out at the islands surrounding the boat, this is such an awesome place.
