Trang An, Vietnam

Trang An is a scenic area near Ninh Binh, Vietnam, renowned for its boat cave tours. It's the most amazing 1 1/2 hour boat trip rowed by tiny, but very powerful, Vietnamese women. Some even used their feet to paddle for part of the trip. We did try to help - we were all given paddles to use if we wanted - but I'm not sure how much contribution we made! We passed through several caves - the scenery was magical.
