It’s snowing & cold outside, so I thought it would be a good idea to start the new year by looking back on past trips to those #exotic places that you dream about during these times – Visiting #Thailand last year we had the chance to take a trip to the #islands in #Krabi and it is as beautiful as you imagine! Clear blue water, beautiful #beaches and everywhere the iconic #longtail boats carrying you from one island to the next. Definitely one trip you should put on your #bucketlist!
#HaLong #Bay in #Vietnam is an amazing place to visit! Even though the weather wasn’t on my side, just stepping onboard one of the local #tour #boats and traveling through the #rocky #cliffs of the bay made my day. Some ancient stories say the rocks were dragons once that fell out of the sky into the bay.
A local fisherman’s boat in #HaLong #Bay, #Vietnam – Visiting Ha Long Bay was one of the #highlights of our trip to Vietnam, seeing those massive #rocks and #cliff formations coming out of the water is an experience on its own. Definitely a must-do when visiting Vietnam!
The Hang Mua #viewpoint in #Vietnam’s #HoaLu district provides amazing #views across the rice fields in the area and is a place of pilgrimage for locals to pray for good fortune. During our trip I was lucky enough to get a photo of two students in their #traditional yellow dresses that were just on their way back down – an amazing contrast and made the photo so much more interesting!
