We were a little worried about the entry to Vietnam because regulations specifically mentioned to leave two blank pages in the passport for the Visa stamp and my wife's passport was full.
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.
The next day we had the feeling that the worst of our altitude thickness was over and decided to take the local bus to the Sacred Valley, a key area of settlement to the Incas. |
