So after an overnight train and a short bus into the mountains we arrive in SaPa. It's so different from what we have seen up to now. Nice cool weather and recently some monsoon rains. Being a mountain town we are forced to walk up and down steep steps and winding streets..... my legs hurt so badly from all the trecking that I can hardly walk!! Luckily the man at the pharmacy hooked us up with some nicey pain killers. Beware fellow travelers of the children from the villages selling thier wares, they will swarm around you and you will feel obligated to buy.... be prepared, don't make eye contact unless you intend to close the deal. We bought way too many things and although they are very nice, we now have to pack them around for the rest of our trip. Tonight we get back on the night train to the city where we will embark on the second half this incredible journey!

I want that little horse
It can live in the office. Hope all is going well, thanks for sharing.

Don't forget to eat one of the duck eggs that are aged for a few months! We want to hear all about it... enjoy every minute of it - the trip of a life time. Lots of love, Glen, Cheryl and Jessica
