Tam Coc










Tam Coc is located approximately 100km south from Hanoi. It is known for the 3 caves. The staff from the Kindergarten and I rented a floating boat, and sailed at the Ngo Dong river.


Sailing between rice fields and mountains, no sounds of the noisy traffic, was utterly idyllic to me. The first cave was kind of scary to sail under - there was completely dark!



Imagine that you’re blind, and can only use your hearing sense, then you have come to the right place. We could wagely sense, if there were a boat in front of us or next to us……..


Some were screaming just to make others scared, but at that moment, we had already past the first cave sailing towards the second cave.



After the third cave, we took a rest....


There’re other boats were women sell snacks and drinks. Some of them were a bit annoying, because they kept on pressing us to buy more than we really wanted.


I know, they’re only trying to make a living, however I still think it’s tasteless to give us more food and drinks in our hands, than what’s nescessary.


Luckily the other staff from the Kindergarten helped us (told them off) to stop these women that were “attacking” us with their fruits, snacks and drinks, and they stopped persuading us to buy more products.


If youre nearby Tam Coc, I’d recommend you to try it for yourself. It was a nice and peaceful experience with beautiful sceneries, the air was fresh and free from pollution.
