trekking in Sapa
arrived in hanoi after a very long bus trip overnight and little sleep but still very excited about exploring North Vietnam.
managed to find a bargain bucket hotel to stay in and set about sorting trips around Hanoi.
we took a 3-day trekking tour to Sapa in the northwest, taking a night train and preparing to do the most exercise we've done in weeks.
We had 2 brilliant and full on days of trekking in amazing surroundings - through valleys of terraced paddy fields, small villages of ethnic tribes, over streams and past waterfalls, and clambering up and down steep slopes.
we spent a night at a homestay in a remote little village where supper was cooked on an open fire, no running water there, and a toilet over the stream!! it was awesome to be in such untouched territory and learn more of the local ethnic groups.
we met some fun guys and got sore muscles!!
