Sapa to Dao Cat Ba Destination Reviews

TL
I went from Sapa to Cat Ba, but I had to change buses in Hanoi, but unfortunately it was badly planned as I missed my next bus (although they waited 40min for me!). BUT I really have to say that the service from the bus company was amazing! I thought I had to stay one night in Hanoi because it was supposedly the last ferry, but I wrote to the hotline and they organized everything for me (for free) - shuttle, private cab, ferry and another private cab I was very grateful for that. (But next time plan a little more buffer and communicate to the guests when and where you have to change, because I didn't know until a woman from the next bus called me)
