Hey, we have arrived in nin binh. I just want to say that your driver is crazy. I have seen a lot of rough driving but this was quit extreme. I wouldn’t trust that guy on a bicycle. Further thank you for your service!

Driver was on time and made a huge effort to get us on the ferry despite guests who were late. He was a very aggressive driver though and we ended up carsick

Comfortable, fast and got dropped off at our hotel. The ferry from Catba to the mainland took forever though. Didn’t get any free water.

Bus picked us up on time and made a few more stops to pick up people at their hotel. The bus drives right on the ferry. One stop for a bathroom break. (This is my trip from Cat Ba to Ninh Binh)
