Ha Long Bay - One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World

Halong bay is simple breathtaking. It is so majestic and impressive! It is definitively in our top must see places! We took an amazing cruise of one night and just loved it!!

Here are some pictures of a total of 927 in two days! :P 

We did a visit to the floating villages,

Halong Bay is just gorgeous! We strongly recommend it if you are doing to Vietnam!

Love in Vietnamese,

Antonio was brave enough to go for a swim! it was quite cold :P

When the cruise company found out we were in Honeymoon! they gave us a really nice room with our own balcony!

A breathtaking sunset!

Vietnam: Busy Hanoi

After one month and a half in China it was time to move to our next destination! Vietnam! It was as well the first time we crossed a border by land. Everything went pretty smooth! 

Hanoi is quite a dynamic and busy city! One of its biggest challenges is crossing the street! because there are soooo many motorbikes! Basically you just cross with all of them passing :P seems like something crazy to do... but is the only way to cross the street! Just take it step by step really slowly so the motorbikes can avoid hitting you! :)  

The food!! is sooo good :) and they had one of our favorites as well! Vietnamese Hotpot!

Yummy spring roles!

The streets are full of life! People doing small businesses everywhere! and here street food... well is really street food :)

Visiting the literature temple in Hanoi,

Students that just graduated taking pictures with their beautiful traditional dresses,

We were lucky enough to get to see a wedding as well :)

In Hanoi we met up with Shanna and Richard from The Netherlands :) we met them the first time in Yangshuo! they are doing an one year trip in Asia as well!

In Vietnam you see a lot of people with small business in the street! In this case a street hair cut!

We couldn´t resist sharing the translations we found in this menu :)

Lost in translation... but the food is just amazing!

We couldn´t leave Hanoi without seeing the water puppets show! really amazing!

Arigatou gozaimasu Japan! Thank you Japan!

We had the most amazing time in Japan! The Japanese culture is just incredible, not easy to define! you really need to come here an experience it first hand :) 

We loved everything! the food, the culture and city! it was just a joy to walk around Tokyo and discover the different neighborhoods! 

Thank you so much to Akiko and Toshi for hosting us! and showing us first hand the amazing Japanese culture! :) below you can see a picture of our schedule Akiko draw for us for the 10 days we spent in Tokyo! 

One thing we have crystal clear! We will definity come back to Japan!
