Lazy Day with Bruce Lee

We wake to a more reasonable five course breakfast, before going ashore on one of the islands in Ha Long Bay to spend a day on the beach.  Refusing the inital tuk tuk ride offer from our guide, we start the 7km trek through a small village.

We ended up on a long stretch of beach, and while the crew was off singing karaoke, we sat and watched our guide (who has been dubbed Bruce Lee at this point) and a couple others play soccer on the beach.  They had way too much energy for us - and we had no problems being lazy. We did however have a problem with their snack of choice... white bread with a little sweetened condense milk drizzled on top. Oh the crazy Vietnamese!
