Dear Tony Thuc,

It was very nice to meet you after so long chatting on the computer Thought you may like a few comments on our holiday in Vietnam.

Halong Bay was spectacular and the junks clean and comfortable. The junk staff were very friendly and keen to please without being intrusive. We all enjoyed the junk experience very much.
