Spring! It had been wet in Hanoi and
for the last few days it had been very foggy. No doubt that the
vegetation was so green and the flowers were everywhere! The singing
birds were more active in looking for food and partners. The whole world
seemed to be charged with new energy.
Business had been very busy recently and
I had not the time to prepare for any trips. There was no way that I
could get out of the office for a long holiday now. There were a quite a
few folks traveling in groups with Paradissa and it was necessary that I
had to double-check the services on Halong Bay. Besides, one of our
business partners had some new boats and we had better see them
ourselves. That was a good reason then, it'd make me feel less guilty
getting off from work for a couple of days. That was it, I'd be having a
great time tomorrow!
The driver came at 0800 A.M and we
arrived on Tuan Chau Island at 11:30 A.M. They had road construction
somewhere on the highway to Lang Son and we had to wait for a while.
Tuan Chau Island was much bigger now than a few years ago. It wouldn't
surprise me to find a big city here some time soon. They were still
reclaiming more land and a few more new buildings were being started...
