Lets say I have had better nights sleep. Feeling rough as anything I was not in the mood for any messing about. After paying for the bus, only once did I have to tell some scrounger that I wasn't going to be paying him as well. It seems that the driver had pocketed his share and he thought I would see him right. Below: A view of the mountain town of Sapa
The journey from Lao Cai to Sapa took about an hour, dropping us off in the towns square. Sapa is a bit of a tourist spot, popular for the visits to the mountain tribe villages. A group of mountain girls greeted us, their command of the English Language was quite impressive and strangely enough they didn't try and sell us anything. All they wanted to know was our names and where we were from. Perhaps part of some wider long term sales strategy.
In the photo above the pigs are about to be loaded on the moped. One of the more interesting cargos we've seen aboard the millions of Vietnam's scooters. After a short walk we finally got to our hotel, where we went straight back to bed.
