We are going to explore the beautiful nature of Casbah, visit Casbah National Park, try some local food and of course take a boat trip around Lan Ha Bay. It's going to be a beautiful day but hopefully a really fun one. If everyone's ready, let's get started. Before we go to Casbah, I want to tell you a little bit about our destination today. Casbah is the largest island in the Casbah archipelago. It is surrounded by hundreds of islands and islands. This place is famous for land stone fountains, green forest, beautiful beach and great sea life. Casbah is a great place for nature lovers and people who like outdoor activities. Once today's trip, we will explore the best thing about the island from nature and screening to food and fun activities. So just relax, enjoy the trip and remedy for the great day. And this is our itinerary today. After an hour of driving at about 7 a.m, we will stop at Ba Phu crab noodle soup. Here we will eat one of the most famous dishes in Hai Phong city and that is crab noodle soup. A bowl of crab noodle soup usually has special red rice noodles. It's made from crab, crab meat, white beetle leaf, rolls, vegetables and other ingredients. Many tourists like to try this dish when they visit Hai Phong city. We will 45 minutes to eat, relax and go to the restroom. Please watch the time and come back to the bus on time. Enjoy your meal. After breakfast, we will continue to our trip to Casbah. Our first stop at about 9 a.m is Casbah National Park. This is one of the most important nature areas on the island. It has green forests, limestone mountains and many different plants and animals. A very special in Casbah language, a very rare mountain. Here we will walk around, enjoy the fresh air and learn about the island's nature. We will also visit the exhibition center to learn more about the natural culture and history, study so that people have lived for a very long time. So Casbah not only has the beautiful nature but also important culture and history. Here are some pictures, here is some information about famous places in Casbah National Park. While walking, stay with the group, don't feed the animals and don't walk away alone. You can take the photo but remember keep the environment clean. After visiting the national park at about 10.30 a.m, we will do a more exciting activity, climbing Ngo Long Peak. Ngo Long is a famous viewpoint in Casbah National Park. While climbing, we will walk through the forest and enjoy the beautiful nature around us. When we reach the top, you can see the green forest and limestone mountains of Casbah. There are other mountains in the park like Calvert Peak but because our time is short, we will only climb Ngo Long Peak today. Please wear good shoes and bring the weather. You don't need to walk too fast. If you are tired, you can stop and rest. The most important thing is safety. We will go up together and go down together. No one will be left behind. After morning of walking and climbing, I think everyone is hungry, quite hungry, right? At about 12 a.m, we will go to Casbah Seafood Restaurant on Tung Dinh Street for lunch. Casbah is famous for fresh seafood so today you will have a chance to try some special dishes of the sea. The first dish I want to introduce is grilled goat duck with canola oil. It is a delicious dish featuring meat that is naturally sweet and crisp. This combines aromatic scallion oil, crispy fried shallots, and nutty peanuts delivering a distinctive Thai flavor of the sea. Next is salt-roasted mantis shrimp which is very tasty. You can also try grilled sun-dried squid, steamed shrimp with lemongrass, and grilled oyster with scallion oil. Now let's go into the restaurant fast and enjoy your lunch meal. After lunch, at about 1.30 p.m, we will rest at Casbah Specialty Coffee. This is a good time for everyone to sit down, rest, and get more energy for the afternoon activities. If you like strong and high coffee, you can try salt coffee or air coffee. If you like light and sweet coffee, you can try white coffee or coconut coffee. Please relax because next you will do one of the most exciting things on this trip. Here are some pictures of coffee. All right, have you rested enough? If yes, we will now go to one of the best parts of the trip. At about 3 p.m, we will get on a boat and start our cruising around Langkawi. Langkawi is famous for its beach and small limestone islands, clear blue water, and very peaceful scenery. On board, you can enjoy the sea breeze, look at the view, and take photos together. If the weather is nice and safe, we will have time to swim, relax on the beach, and follow the kayak. This is time to forget the schedule, enjoy the sea, and relax together. But please remember when you are in the water, follow the safety rules and don't go too far from the safe area. After the cruise, at about 4.30 p.m, we will have free time to explore April 1st Street. This is one of the busiest streets in Katmai, home to numerous hotels, seafood restaurants, and cafes, and serves as a main route for traveling to the Katmai market area or towards Katmai National Park. Here, you will walk around, feel the local life, eat local food, and go shopping. If you are still hungry, you can try spicy mini baguettes, crab spring rolls, steamed rice cakes, or squid cake. This is also a good time for everyone to buy gifts for your family and friends. You will have many choices to choose such as dried squid, yellowfin fish, especially Katmai fish sauce and Katmai white honey. You will have free time to walk and explore, but please watch the time and come back to the meeting point on time. At about 6 p.m, we will start going back to Haiphong. Before leaving Katmai, please check your phones, maps, and all personal things to make sure you didn't forget anything.
