Cat Ba Island is a wonderful place. I spent the day just walking around on the beach and on the trails that connect the separate beaches and climbing on the limestone to get some nice vantage points.
In general the people on Cat Ba are not as nice as the others I have encountered in Vietnam. As a matter of fact, I was even called a "cheapskate" today because I refused to buy some pearls. Of course there are some really great people here too, and those are the ones I will continue to give my business to. The picture below is from the balcony of my $5 a night hotel room.
Overall there is nothing worth complaining about. I am in an absolutely gorgeous place and eating wonderful food and smoking the last of my cigars (and I always save the best for last!)

Kyle - the pictures of the many boats and what looks like houseboats mixed in - is that a little floating village?
Were you going to buy pearls for your mother and didn't? No wonder they called you a cheapskate!! (just kidding - I don't really want pearls unless you find some for a fantastic price.)
