Another Bay

We transfer to a smaller boat for calmer, less crowded waters and tie up to one of the floating village fish farms where the majority of us don life vests and climb into kayaks for a couple of hours. Fearful of dropping my iPod into the drink, i take no photos. It was plenty fun though and my shoulders weren't even sore afterwards. The tide seems permanently out and beaches are dangerous fields of coral, so we paddle and admire but don't swim. We do however work up quite an appetite.






We have lunch of more seafood. The meals seem to all start with french fries??? Always decorated too.



The floating villages all raise clams, scollops, squid, langoustine, or fish.








A siesta is in order after the meal.

  1. Lori asked about th origin of the Karst. They are limestone deposits of the exoskeletons of of sea critters who passed this way 500,000 years ago. About 300,000 years ago upheavals from the ring of fire (Western Pacific Side) pushed up the sea bed. Much ke the coast of CA has been rising due to the tectonic plate sliding underneath. Wind, rain and erosion have been working on these limestone hills over time. The rain water from above and sea water all around have contributed to their current shape. Like at Paradise Cave and Phong Nha Ka Bang, caves have formed here too leaving hollows in some of them.
