Hanoi, Vietnam: Catba Island

Catba Island has a laidback charm with plenty of idle children and dogs. We had to wait for a crowd that was big enough (from different boats) before a bus left for THE climb (How Fit Are You Test 1) and meanwhile we were entertained by local ladies touting 'Water Cheap Cheap!' and (childish) 'men' imitating them.

Island is quite big, which explains why some tourists rent motorbikes and speed in them

Maybe Catba Island should be renamed Dogba Island instead.
Back to the Bay!
