I had a couple of friends over last night for a Girls Night In. We had wine, pizza and watched Magic Mike and needless to say we had a great time.
Also one of the girls who had come to Vietnam with me brought along a USB saying that "She had found a video of mine on it" so I took a look and I thought you'd like to see it.
(as requested by myself, here is the science behind Ha Long Bay (Courtesy of Wikipedia)):
Ha Long Bay has an area of around 1,553 km2, including 1,960–2,000 islets, most of which are limestone.
Ha Long Bay has 14 endemic floral species and 60 endemic faunal species.
Submarine mountains formed about 420 million years ago in the deep sea where Ha Long bay is now. 340 million years ago tectonic activity brought it almost to sea level. 340-240 million years ago the limestone that now makes up the bay's formations was developing.
The bay was again affected by tectonics which sunk it back down into a deep bay but not quite a sea, this was called the Ha Long Depression.
The mountains were eroded by the water and caves and grottos began to form.
Et voila!
The limestone karsts (the towers and peaks) is what remains of those mountains!
You learn something new every day :)
I hope one day you have a daughter, there are many reasons for this but one little one is that I can teach her how to do all the mean things to you, that you do to me! xxxx
