Anh Tuan Hotel Sapa

Nu skulle vi besoka sondagsmarknaden i Bac Ha. 3 timmars bussfard fran Sapa sa kom vi tillslut fram. <br> Vilket stalle. folk overallt. Allt inom hantverksomradet, turistprylar, hushallsmaskiner. Precis som Rimbomarknas forrutom att de fortfarande saljer djur pa den har marknaden. Pa tal om det, helt sjukt vilken ...

Taget kom in efter 4 pa morgonen i Lao Cai. Dorren till var kabin slets upp och en man fragade om vi skulle upp till Sapa. Svar ja. 30.000 VND senare sa satt vi i en minibuss och vantade och vantade. Under var vantan sa fick vi bla se ett slagsmal mellan tva lokalbor, underhallande!<br><br> Vi hoppade av minibussen runt 6 i Sapa. Det var dimmigt och kallt. Ra kallluft har vi inte andats pa maaanga dagar. Skont i borjan men inte lika kul efter ett tag. De storslagna ...

... and Dawn. We ate some Mexican food, than met up with some other friends. We ate like 3 meals that night. ahaha. It was a little ridiculious, but fun because I met a government official who I talked to a lot. It was really cool. His name was Lea. I really wanted to tell him that I was a Christian just to see what would happen, but kept reserved. Anyways we had Mexican food, than went to a bar/cafe and had more food, than ...

... him some bracelets. She kept asking him "Buy from me, buy from me, buy from me..." and he kept smiling at her and saying "no thank you". Obviously, he wasn't firm enough. She was tenacious and kept following him, not once letting up on the "Buy from me" pitch. He called out for help so i stepped in, took off my sunglasses and looked the child in the eye with what i was hoping would be firmness and resolve and told her "no, thank you, we will not buy ...

... delicious food for every meal (6 course lunches and dinners!). We had a lovely velvet-upholstered fresh flower-filled lounge (which we never sat in because the weather was so wonderful we spent all our time up on deck) and a large bedroom (cabin) and en suite bathroom. <br>One lunch time, after a morning spent kayaking - into caves, through arches into even more secluded areas of the bay, we dropped anchor near a beautiful beach, and ...

... day!<br><br>the following morning, after a breakfast of pancakes with honey and bananas, we said our goodbyes and set off on the final leg of our trek. again we navigated terraced paddy fields, often walking along dividing walls barely a few feet wide. our first port of call was at a fantastic water fall, where the water cascaded over and around massive boulders embedded in the mountain. we sat here for a while, taking time to relax in the sun ...

... sights that makes you feel you have really seen Asia. The streets were considerably quieter than Hanoi and the rip-off merchants were (slightly) less in evidence. Sapa serves as the main administrative and market town for all the tribal mountain villages for miles around, so it is always teeming with women of different tribes - the Black Hmong tribe in their indigo robes, Red Zao with their distinctive red headdress and Flower Hmong ...

... from Hanoi and seemed really nice. They carried with them a bag of candy that they offered to the Hmong kids, I should have thought of that. The kid&#8217;s eyes would light up at the offer as they tried violently to get into the candy wrappers. This opened doors for negotiating. I found that they spoke to most every family we came across. Hoa eventually explained that they were out to buy a pig to eat for lunch. Seeing how most Hmong people are subsistence farmers, they only have ...

Nous souhaitions découvrir le nord ouest du Vietnam. Pour ce faire la meilleur option qui s'offrit à nous fut de partir pour Sapa, une station climatique établie par les Français au début du siècle. Elle surplombe une vallée dont les flancs sont couverts de rizières en terrasses et au milieu&#8230; coule une rivière. La particularité de cette région est sa richesse de minorités ethniques dispersées aux alentours qui ont conservées leurs coutumes et notamment leurs costumes ...

... unos pueblos hasta llegar al rio, donde cogemos una barca para los dos solos y navegamos. Muy recomendable.<br><br> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br >Al llegar al final, el coche nos recoge y paramos en un campo de té verde y luego en Lao Cai, donde vemos la frontera con China y una pagoda donde una mujer está haciendo un ...
