After our trekking experience we had bonded with one of the tour guides Khoa(the one who is in love with me). He then convinced us to take a tour to Can Cao market...or we convinced him to help us get to Can Cao market (140 km away from the town in Sapa). After some sweet talking he found us a driver and agreed to join us for the day. We left th...

Mmm, Sapa, mmm, I wrote a storry on a girl from Sapa, but you'd have to wait for 3 weeks to read it. I'm too unmotivated to write anything else right now. Check out the pics.

Well, I have titled this rather strangely, I think a quote is due, 'it was the best of times, it was the worst of times' as I am not yet an avid dictionary of quotes(and more than likely never will be) I dont know who said this and im not going to google it just to sound impressive. For those of you that dont know Sapa, it is a mountain Hill sta...

Hello from the high peaks of Sapa. Just 12 hours on a night train from Hanoi, Sapa is a small town up in the mountains, the getaway to several ethnic minorities villages, the biggest counting 5000 inhabitants. As soon as the bus pulled up in front of the Hotel (called "Summit", to give you an idea of the fatigue to come), we were surrounded by s...

Just got back from a 4 day trek in the mountainous area surrounding Sapa. It was beautiful and difficult trudging through the rice paddies and hills. A wish i could have shot more pictures but the foggy surroundings prevented me from that.

Wow, vilka vidder! Ar i Sapa i norra Vietnam, bara nagra kilometer fran den kinesiska gransen. Det ar svalt, jag hor syrsor spela och om natterna vaknar jag av hundskall.

Sapa is a little town on the moutain range of Vietnam.This little town is full of locals and tourists, young and old. Most women are wearing the hill tribe outfits, tribes such as Yao, Black Thai and H'mong.

We arrived in Loc Cai at 5 am where we took a bus to Sapa, in the mountains. The ride was about and hour long on again, some knarly mountain roads but not as bad as in Laos. We organized a place to stay then found ourselves a guide to take us up Mount Fansipan, the highest mountain in Indochina at 3143 meters high. Food and sleep were the only t...

After arriving back from our Halong Bay tour, we decided to try and catch an overnight train to Sapa, a village in the north west part of Vietnam. After eating pizza at a cafe (take away half a pizza folded into a tiny box hee hee) We were albe to secure a sleeper car in the overnight train...once we all squished in and got settled, it was a pre...
