Getting to know the local wildlife!

Yesterday we went to Ha Long Bay. It was awesome! We took a trip on a tour boat around the bay. Then we visited two caves. I strongly protested about visiting the second one, because it was really hot. 3-1, so I had to go. The first thing I noticed, was that the cave was crawling with bats! They were everywhere! I kept seeing them fly from rock to rock on the cave ceiling.

Finally we got out of the bat infested cave. On the way down, I heard a strange noise, like a wind up toy car being wound up too far, but twice, maybe three times as loud. "What a strange bird," I said to my mum. "that's a cricket!" It sounded way too loud to be a cricket though. According to mum, they make the crickets in England look like babies!

Oh yeah, we went out for tea with my Grandad and his boss. They ordered a plate of fried chicken. She tried to convince me and Cade to have some, but we refused. I'm glad, 'cos later someone told her it was Turtle Dove! Yuck!

P.S. My mum would like someone to send me homework via this blog!

Caitlin over and out!
