| Green Mango Cat Ba Fourth Anniversary Party!!! | Hi all…... It's rapidly approaching the biggest day on the Cat Ba events calendar. Yes the GREEN MANGO of Cat Ba is holding its FOURTH BIRTHDAY on Saturday 19th July 2008. …...For those who attended the previous parties, this is the biggest party within a 134.1km radius of Hanoi …... So now is the time to be locking in your weekend on Cat Ba Island for this event. Ideally you will be able to get a day off work and spend two nights to really soak up the summer sun and sand on the island. If you can only lock in the Saturday night that's also fine. It's the best time to be out of the Hanoi oven as the mercury reaches 4001 Degrees Celsius …... Basic program …... Saturday morning: Arrive Cat Ba and do what you like. …... Saturday night: Party on. Best food on the island - a 6 course meal, hip drinks mixed by the mad mixers, massive drinks specials, lucky door prizes, The Van Ho Ba band, DJs till dawn. …............We are looking for a good DJ as well…………………..so if you know anyone decent, then get them in touch with Mr Hai at the Mango (greenmangohanoi@gmail.com) ......Sunday morning: Recovery session at Green Mango, beach time. ...... Sunday afternoon: Return to Hanoi . ......THIS YEAR TO AVOID THE COORDINATION AND ACCOMMODATION ISSUES WE HAD LAST YEAR, WE WILL BE BOOKING AN ENTIRE HOTEL (TRUC LAM HOTEL) CONTACT MR THUY 0916 552 403 ...... Please pass this invite around to everyone you know. ...... These kinds of parties only come around once [per year]. So lock it in. ...... US$20 for pre dinner free flow wine and a 6 course meal with a complimentary glass of wine. You'd be crazy to miss this island party, Cat Ba Style!!!………………………………………………………………………………….. ...... TRANSPORTATION: How to get there There are many ways to get to Cat Ba island. It takes about 3-4 hours between Hanoi to Hai Phong and then less than one hour by ferry. It all depends on how you travel. ...... Bus services ...... Hoang Long bus This is the recommended way to travel to and from Cat Ba island. It includes bus and ferry - taking you all the way from Hanoi to Cat Ba town. From Hanoi to Cat Ba: leaving from Luong Yen bus station Times: 5'15am, 7'15am, 11'15am, 1'15pm From Cat Ba to Hanoi: leaving from next door to the Phong Lan Hotel on the main road in Cat Ba town. Times: 7'15am, 9'15am, 1'15pm, 3'15pm ...... Travel time: 4 hours (approx) Ticket cost: 160,000VND ......To get tickets you'll need to go to the station office to pick them up - they won't take bookings over the phone. Otherwise arrive at the station and purchase at least 30 minutes before departure. Contact: Mr Tung Office: 04 987 5410 Mobile: 0912 023 227 ...... Public bus From Hanoi to Hai Phong: leaving Luong Yen Bus Station (leaving from the station is easy option, but buses go to Hai Phong from every station, so you can go to the station closest to you) Times: Leave every 15 minutes From Hai Phong to Hanoi: leaving Tam Bac bus station (Hai Phong) Times: Leave every 15 minutes ......Travel time: 3 hours (approx) Ticket cost: 45,000 dong ......Going by public bus is not the easiest way to go because it involves some planning to get to Hai Phong at a time that meets with the ferry. From Hanoi, you will be delivered to the Tam Bac bus station in Hai Phong. You then have to negotiate with xe oms to get to the Binh Port. Then you have to negotiate to get on the hydrofoil. The only advantage of using this option is that it takes only three hours to get to Cat Ba, while the Hoang Long option takes four hours. ...... Charter If anyone wants to charter a bus themselves, then to go from Hanoi to Hai Phong, then onto the ferry, then to Cat Ba town, we recommend the Hoang Long Bus Company. Their office is at Luong Yen Bus Station. You can negotiate with them the times to connect with the right ferry. Contact: Mr Tung Office: 04 987 5410 Mobile: 0912 023 227 ...... Hydrofoil boat: Binh ferry, Binh port You need to note these times should you go by public bus or charter one yourself. From Hai Phong to Cat Ba Times: 8:00am, 8:30am, and 9:00am From Cat Ba to Hai Phong Times: 2:30pm, 3:00pm, and 3:15pm Travel time: 50 minutes Ticket cost: 120,000 dong | 1 |
