Cruising through Halong Bay and savoring the flavors of Hanoi

If you're traveling with your parents, there's nothing better than a Halong Bay cruise! While it might be slightly pricier by Vietnamese standards, the moment you board the Catherine Cruise, all your meals—lunch, dinner, and breakfast—are included, making for a worry-free and relaxing day. Catherine Cruise is relatively new, with friendly staff and a variety of onboard tours to participate in, so I highly recommend it. If you're visiting Hanoi, don't miss out on pho and Cong Cafe! And don't forget to try the affordable and delicious banh mi sold on the streets. 🤭🤭
