Exploring Co To Island Tour (day 1)

Những chiều êm mây quang
Vịnh bắc Cô Tô ấy
Biển xanh đẹp lạ lùng
Trong suốt nhìn tận đáy
– Ngọc trai trong vịnh Cô Tô – Xuân Diệu –

Afternoons when cloud left
At Co To North Bay
Where has nice blue sea
Water is transparent and I can see bottom of the sea
– Pearl in Co To bay – poet Xuan Dieu

Last June 2015 my company (Rikkeisoft) went to Co To Island by booked a tour from Fiditour. That’s a far island and everything is still neglected. I like to come areas like that, where is less touched by human hand instead of noise amusement park or morden and expensive resort. There are 5000 people living in here but services are not still completed, this island had just joined to National Grid in the end of 2013.

There was very long way when we started from Ha Noi, 5-6 hours in the bus and ~2.5 hours in the boat. It taked 2/3 day to come to Co To Island!
When you are in the boat, you should come to prow to get the view. It’s very beautiful likes Ha Long bay with small islands and huge strange shapes stones!

Đứng trên boong tàu rất là mát, nhưng chú ý tránh tầm nhìn của bác lái tàu nhé! — Standing in prow is very cool but it’s quite dangerous so you should make notice to childs, and notice do not let pilot is masked.

Du lịch Cô Tô, được thăm luôn cả vịnh Hạ Long — Seaway to Co To Island is near by Ha Long Bay too.

Chăm chú chụp cảnh thiên nhiên, bị chụp trộm lúc nào không biết — It’s me! haha

Thằng bạn thân, ai bảo nó một vợ hai con thì chắc đang khen nó trẻ đấy :))) — And here is my friend who love firm camera

Tàu tuần tra của cảnh sát biển Việt Nam — The patrol boat of Vietnam Coast Guard

Ngọn hải đăng trên vịnh, có vẻ như là bị bỏ hoang — An Old Lighthouse in bay, it was seem not working anymore!

Đã đến bến thuyền Cô Tô, bãi biển trải dài và núi xanh mượt!! — The boat was docked! Very longggg beach and very greennnnn hills! Greatt!

Thứ quả lạ hoắc ở đảo Cổ Tô, người dân gọi là dứa biển (trông cũng giống quả dứa). Quả này chỉ để làm thuốc, ngâm rượu, không dùng để ăn vì chắc ko có vị gì! — That was first time i saw this fruit! But wait, you can’t eat it (may be it was not delicious, nobody eated it), it is called Sea Coconut and you can pickle with wine or to make medicine. It was said good for health, but i didn’t want to try, it was seem dangerous.

After went to hotel and took a nap, we went outside and started exploring Island.

Don’t only stay in hotel when you on the trip, it’s very waste!

Nơi đây Bác vẫn đứng ngày ngày,
Chào sông chào biển Bác giơ tay.
Non nước chúng con nhờ ơn Bác,
Tự do độc lập quý lắm thay.
– my very short poem :D –

Có một con đường, mang tên là tình yêu... — This way was called Love Way, because it was very long way and seemed no limit!

Anh là phó nháy của đoàn, anh chuyên soi gái nên toàn Tê lê — This was my company camera man, he loved sexy girl so he also loved beach because of bikinis!

Sóng trời thảnh thơi ngắm, dòng đời cứ mặc trôi... — A fully relax man! wished that everyday i am like him!

Don’t make money for disengaged and happness, because disengaged and happness is not need money..

Gió theo lối gió, mây đường mây
Dòng nước buồn thiu, hoa bắp lay
Thuyền ai đậu bến sông trăng đó
Có chở trăng về kịp tối nay.
– Hàn Mạc Tử –
– a poam of poet Han Mac Tu – sorry it’s too hard to translate to English –

The camera man was still finding bikinis =))

Mặt trời đã khuất bóng hoàng hôn,
Sóng xoa bờ cát đóng tâm hồn
Tìm ai chi nữa, người nghệ sĩ?
…
– my very short poam –

Hoàng hôn trên biển Cô Tô — Sunset in Co To Island. There was cloudy so we can’t saw the sun.
