After breakfast in hotel, the bus took us to visit the Cat Ba National Park. Of the group, only 6 of us went. 4 young French girls from Leon, 2 young men from Czech Republic but were borned in Vietnam. The guide dropped us at the Park entrance and left us on our own to trek up to the summit of a hill (225m) and then down on the same way, it took us 2 and a half hours. A big disappointment that my camera was found faulty when I reached the summit, the LCD screen blackout. Very lightly I will have to get a new one in Hanoi. That's about the only activity of this so called "National Park" The bus took us back to the hotel for lunch and by 3 pm back on the boat for the 2nd night stay.This time sharing room with a French guy. No other activities,just relax and enjoy the views from the top deck. At night, we arranged our group games: 4 French 3 female1 male , 2 Germans both male,one American, 2 Czechs and one Malaysian, introduce their country games and sing along with a guitar. The ssesion ended late into midnight before some went to their room to sleep but most prefered to sleep on the deck.
