In the end we went up to the tower. We have never climbed so steep stairs ever before and once up we were really afraid to go down. There were no safety installation at this tower.
Anyway, the entire bus ride lasted four hours and we finally arrived at the city of Halong. We were supposed to take a two day luxury boat tour on a ship called The Lagoon Explorer.
In the end, the taxi dropped us also at their hotel (Hotel Monarca): Three stars, rooms available, hot water, a decent breakfast, free Internet and 2$ more expensive then our hostel. |
