Halong Bay

I had been wanting to try kayaking for years, so when I got the chance, I took it. It was great. I need to do more. This photo was taken at the kayak outpost that Indochina Junk keeps on Halong Bay. It was my great privilege to be the old lady American tourist, free to take snapshots, if I wanted, while my guide did the heavy rowing. Next time, I won't be so lucky...
