The Boat of Halong Bay by Kasenya

10/14/2008

Halong Bay is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. There are little islands and they surround Halong Bay. We took a boat tour to Halong Bay. I had a marvelous time.

On our tour, we climbed up a cave. I went in my backpack. It was really scary at first but the boat left us there and we had to go through the cave to meet the boat. The cave was cool. It had lots of lights. It was way cooler than I expected.

That day we also went kayaking. Kayaking wasn’t what I expected it to be since my parents haven’t showed us what you do. I sat in the hole with my Mom. Lacey sat in the front hole. I paddled a little bit. There was a sea cave in the bay which we went through. It was not a bad experience.

After the cave and before the kayaking we had lunch on the boat. It wasn’t your regular lunch. The captain and the captain’s helper made soup, spring rolls, egg things, rice and fish. As they always say: “the atmosphere makes the meal”. Eating on a boat in Halong Bay was calming.

Travelling the world as a family since 2008.

In September 2008 our family embarked on a four month journey through South East Asia. Traveling with a child who uses a wheelchair presented its challenges, but following the Mekong River through China, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam with a wheelchair was truly an adventure.

When we move beyond our fears and embrace our dreams, the Universe has an odd way of not only supporting us but giving us more opportunities than we ever imagined. Embarking on a journey with an open heart we can not help but be changed forever by the experience. Indeed it would be a waste to return untouched in the spiritual realm.

September: China (Beijing, Xi’an,Kunming, Yuanyang)
October: Northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Halong Bay) and
Laos (Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng, Vientiane)
November: Southern Vietnam (Hue, Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta)
December: Cambodia (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, Kampot and Sihanoukville).
