Hanoi to Halong bay

Another night bus, early in the morning in Hanoi. Went to the shop, spent 40k VND or 1,3€, tired. To Classyc 5* hotel, moved on a motorbike 100k VND or 3,4€. Too early for check-in, waiting, helpful staff, welcome drink, and snack. Finally, it was time for the Halong Bay tour, and they picked me up close to the hotel. Nice bus, flat land outside, stopped at the gas station, bought a hot dog for 35k VND or 1,2€. Next stop at the pearl shop. After acquiring tickets, we moved to a fancy boat. There we had lunch, self-service. We went to a cave with 250 stairs, 20k VND or 0,7€ for Coke. We went for a short circle with a bamboo boat. At Ti Top island, I climbed 500 steps for the view, and swam. On return, I took a shower, we had a party on the top deck, sunset, beer was 50k VND or 1,7€. Back to the hotel in the evening, shower, rooftop pool, cocktail with voucher, relaxing, no energy for the city but still went out it was Friday, for a beer in the old quarter, beer 55k VND or 1,9€, Indians were loud, rain.
