cross, lucky it’s a gentle one and causes no real issue just a bit of side to side rocking of our ferry. We roll into town, grab a quick ice cream and we're on a boat, for a leisurely cruise by the putt putt motor to the Phong Na caves. Wow! What a sight. No wonder this is world heritage listed. The motor is turned off and we have about a 10mins row in and through the cave, we're told the water is up to 30mtrs deep and the roof is between 10 and 30mtrs above us. What lovely formations there are and they're huge. Today was a 12hr day, with 280 km mixture of highway, twisty road, slippery dirt, wooden bridge a row boat ferry and a 2km boat ride through Phong Na world heritage limestone caves. Totally awesome. So far 960km we’ve completed.
