The 3 Most Valuable Items on my trip so far: 1) Bottled Water 2) Toilet Paper 3) Peanut Butter Many travelers decided to skip Sapa because it was a little colder than the comfort of the islands in southern Thailand....OK, it was really cold and I had to buy a new jacket there, but I'm glad I went. After about 12 hours on the bus (with the old lady touching my thigh) I was ready to stretch my legs a bit in Sapa, but was immediately confronted by 3 different hotel workers trying to get me to st...

Had quie a late one last night- did the fashion show, had my nails painted and watched Notting Hill- proper girly night! Then I wrote in my journal for abut 2 hours so I don't keep forgetting things! Got up at 7.30 for breakfast and then got a mini bus for 4 hours down to Hue. Stopped at an American Base in the moutains, the drive was really nice- same one thats on Top Gear. We arrived at about half 12 and went for lunch and then a motorbike tour strait away. This time most of the group jione...

... mountain pass in Vietnam. Again the views were spectacular along the way, we also stopped at the Silver Waterfall. From there we headed back down through Sapa and down to the Cat Ca minority village, passing a Pink Floyd Cafe on the way!! It was then getting dark, and some of the roads were dodgy so we headed back. We then went out for dinner and had an early night knowing we had a long trek ahead of us the next day.
Our guide met us at the hotel and drove us ...
... 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 ...

... br>What was really fun was running into the people working in the rice
fields and literally almost running into a water buffalo (check the
pics).
Although we have
our own private tour with Chinh, we are not the only tourists who are
trekking to the villages – this is a fully organized operation and
there are about another 50 or so tourists who will be staying
somewhere in the villages with other H'mong or Red Dao guides. When

... then went into a Red Zao Village & into a school classroom. Had lunch at the river & then cut the rest of the trek short due to the muddy conditions & headed back up the hill to the road where a mini bus drove us back to Sapa. Now that was a scary 30 minute ride on this narrow windy road. The driver didn’t go fast but ...

... bed!
Next day treking was a little more difficult.Again around 15km through towering bamboos and jungle greenery. The rice paddys were more visible today as there was no rain and no cloud. we hiked up to a waterfall and got some brilliant shots at teh top! Mark even had a little wash(about time!!) We headed across a rickety bridge before heading for lunch. More treking then, towards the hotel in the village. As you can imagine, nothing was going to ...
... hopes to come out on a path leading South out of town. I asked a local shopkeeper for some help and he pointed me in the right direction. After a couple hundred yards of walking I came to a gated entrance, 20,000 Dong gave me a map and entry, and I was in. The walk downhill was winding and steep but offered unbelievable views of the valley floor below. Bright green terraces of rice paddies stretched out into the mountains dotted with Hmong villagers houses and huts. The air was ...

Anyway back on the beers again at midday till god knows when but do remember spending about two hours watching the cricket on the Internet!! anyway more beers and hit Irish pub bumped in to hot french chick from night before hoping ground work would pay off. Anyway more beer and eventually think a big group ...

... and went to see Harry Potter with our friend from Hue. Hanoi is just as crazy and hectic as I had imagined and it was fun taking motorcycle taxi rides through town.
There are all kinds of scams that you need to keep an eye out for such as exorbitant taxi rates. Everyone I've met that started their Viet Nam trip in Hanoi got seriously ripped off by the taxis. One group of people told us a minivan held them hostage when they realized the meter was ...
... away so she lives with her Nan, we met her nan, aunt and lots of neighbours with cute kids!
While her nan and aunty cooked up another cracking meal with more stuff we'd bought at the market... we 5 headed down to the river.... it was a hot, sunny day and the girls (Chu and Mai) wanted to swim. So off we toddled down through the paddy fields... and swam in our clothes with about 20 local kids.... fun, fun, fun.....
After food we headed back to Sapa... another awesome ...
