Trang An











This Saturday took a trip to Trang An with friends. Trang An is a waterway system in the mountains of Ninh Binh. The trip takes 3 hours and goes through 10 limestone caves, some as long as 350 m. It is the only waterway I have been on in Ninh Binh that goes in a circle. The others just to a distance and come back. We climbed many steps up to a 300 year old Pagoda cut into the rock.

We were not the only ones enjoying the trip. There was a University group of over 300 students on the waters ahead of us. We encountered them in one of the long tunnels coming back. It was so dark that we hit 3 different boats. Fortunately no one fell in!!
