Cat Ba island

Kim: Cat ba island was really awesome. Quiet and peaceful. The cafe's were good, especially the pancakes. The beaches were nice and the island was said to be made from a dragon's ashes. We went cruising round the islands, kayaking and rock climbing. I jumped off the roof of the boat into the water - it was scary at first, but fun, fun, fun.  The rock climbing was really good fun as well, I climbed as high as the roof of our flat in London. I was really impressed with myself.

Ned: I liked the island. We played on the beach and went kayaking and rock climbing. The first climb was as high as our flat, but the second climb was flatter and I went even higher. It was very scary, because when abseiling down I thought I was going to crash into the rocks. But I enjoyed it. I really liked the kayaking and would like to do it again. I even kayaked on my own. I held a live starfish that I'd found in the shallow water.
