After a couple of hours of sailing, the boat anchored up by a floating fishing village where Sauce and Mustard got to go kayaking. As they paddled around the amazing islands, they found a hole which led them into a hidden lagoon. Coming back out of the lagoon, Sauce and Mustard found themselves disorientated around the mist shrouded islands and soon became lost. Fortunately, the junk eventually came to their rescue and the two lost kiwis were the butt of the joke over lunch.
Lunch on the deck of the boat was basic, but filling. Sauce and Mustard enjoyed good conversation and excellent views of the bay. Before too long, the boat arrived at Sung Sot Cave (cave of surprises). It is the largest cave in Halong Bay.
The boat then moored in a clam area where Sauce and Mustard kayaked to another magnificent hidden lagoon. This time they made sure they stayed with the group. As the day warmed up, Mustard took a dip in the cool water of Halong Bay.
Saying good bye to the interesting and colourful characters on the boat, Sauce and Mustard were left to enjoy sometime alone. They stayed overnight on the junk and had the boat all to themselves for the next day where Sauce and Mustard did more kayaking without getting lost and visited Monkey Island. They didn't get to see any monkeys. Sauce had a refreshing swim back to the boat while Mustard waited like a beautiful maiden for the ship to pick her up.
After spending some quality time together on a private cruise, Sauce and Mustard got dropped off back at the wharf at Cat Ba town. The price for a bus-boat-bus ticket back to Hanoi was going to cost 220,000ð but Sauce and Mustard insisted on only paying 190,000ð.

a hundred and ninety grand still sounds a bit steep for a bus ride, shoulda brought a house instead.
But when you are a multi billionaire, you need something to spend your money on.
