Cat Ba, Vietnam

I've spent the last 4 days in Cat Ba, Vietnam having a wonderful time, and the best birthday. I went deep water solo rock climbing, kayaked in the lagoon and through natural bridges and archways, I jumped off the 2 story wooded tour boat into the water. I went trekking through the hot and humid jungle, spent the night out on the bay with hillarious fellow travellers who sang Happy Birthday to me, and even found some cake! I'm sore, scraped up, bruised, tired and have a headcold, but am having more fun than I've had in ages! Vietnam is excellent! I want to do some more climbing and swimming, I'll probably stay here for Christmas! The loud, Asian-techno-hiphop-remixed Christmas music is so funny! :)
