PRE-TOUR EXTENSON – HANOI & HA LONG BAY
Begin your Southeast Asian experience with two nights in Hanoi, Vietnam’s leafy green, lake studded capital. A panoramic tour will introduce you to Hanoi’s best-known sights, including the Temple of Literature, the “Hanoi Hilton,” the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh, and the modest “House on Stilts” in which this key figure in Vietnam’s independence movement lived for many years. Take a cyclo tour through the alleyways of the city’s charming historic quarter, and enjoy a delightful performance by traditional water puppets. Then travel to the coast for an overnight cruise on a small luxury boat on Ha Long Bay, a mystical seascape of limestone islets, where you’ll explore caves with fantastic stalactite and stalagmite formations.
