8:00 A.M  we started from Lotte hotel for day tour to Ninh Binh. It took us roughly 2 hours to reach Hoa Lu - the former capital of Dai Viet- the old name of Vietnam in the 10th century. 

Thanks to  good wheather - cool and fresh air we had wonderful time to walk around 2 old temples to recall the history of Dinh and Ly dynasties and released our mind to imagine the atmosphere of society, politics and arts of the first dynasty of Vietnam.

Our clients from India, they love Vietnamese vegetarian foods in a local restaurant named Truong An. 

After lunch we continue to drive for about 20 minite to reach to Tam Coc, a famous for its landscapes with limestome mountains. Boat trip lasted one and a half hour took through 3 beautiful natural caves with stalactitis and stalactites. During the boat trip we had eyes enrich the beauty of the scenery, people and lovely pets in some house which built quite near river water.

6 P.M we wrap our day tour at the hotel with thanks and big smiles to each other.
