On the second and last day of our cruise, we went to see the cavern at Halong Bay. I have never heard this listed as one of the 7 wonders of the world. But apparently in 2012, the "New 7 Wonders Foundation" officially named Halong Bay as one of the New 7 Natural Wonders of the World.
It was pretty amazing To see inside of this cave. It puts Indian Echo Caverns to shame! I didn't really get any good pictures because of the lighting inside but here are a few:
This is the picture of the ceiling. Typically you would see stalactites hanging down from the ceiling. And in many parts, there were (see above). But here, the ocean (at some point in time) filled up this area and made the roof smooth from the waves. I found this really incredible because it was such a contrast to all the sharp pointy stalactites that filled most of the cavern.
Eek! Bats!!
This is a view of the cave entrance:
If you haven't caught on yet, Alisia really likes ice cream and will eat it anywhere and at any time!
