Vietnam's Cat Ba Island was a fishing community centuries before travellers discovered the island's beauty and the delights of Lan Ha Bay - the southern area of Halong Bay. I had a great time exploring the fishing port last week. A real spectacle of colour and activity as the lads prepared the fleet to head out to sea. Hope you enjoy this little indulgence.
