Day 72: Ninh Binh

It was sad to have to leave such an amazing place as Ha Long Bay, but our adventures must continue. Also, the weather for the next couple of days is not at all conducive for hanging out and partying on the beaches, so we are making our way south. Unfortunately, we spent the whole day traveling. A speed boat took us to shore, then we piled on to a public transportation bus, not a sleeper bus like we were promised, for our five hour bus ride to Ninh Binh. The beginning of the ride was not bad at all, there was barely anyone on the bus. As time passed, the bus became SLAM packed with people, to the point where someone had to partly sit on me for the ride. We couldn't have gotten off of that bus any sooner.

Ninh Binh is home to an amazing river with a couple temples that were recommended that we see along our way to the bottom of Vietnam. The city was quite empty as we explored it with what little time we had to spare. Not much happened today, needless to say, not everyday can be a jaw-dropper. Tomorrow we are set off to see what all this city has to offer.
