Mountain Trecking

VIETNAM | Friday, 13 April 2007 | Views [539] | Comments [3]

We are in sapa in Vietnam and we arrived here from the capital Hanoi by train. It took us 10 hours so we all got to sleep on the train and i thought it was a really good experience, although it was a little rocky. We arrived at 6:30am so we spent most of the day looking around town at the way the people live and relaxing in our hotel Chau Long which is absolutley beautìul!

Sapa is a really beautiful place and its the first place weve been where it rained. The scênery is absolutly amazing here and the town is flocked with mountains.

Today we went mountain trecking down one of the mountains for about 2 hours with our Vietnamese tour guide, Philm who is just as cool as Pat from Cambodia, and whilst weve been in Sapa Chin has accompanied us because this is his home town and he can tell us more about its history.

Chin also taught me some of his laungage today, i spelt them wrong because i wrote them how they sounded but i think im getting the hang of it. So far i am really enjoying Sapa!

We leave on the train again tomorrow night and im looking foward to whats coming next!

Great to read your story and to hear that you are having such wonderful adventures. Hope you enjoy the hustle and bustle of Saigon. Plenty of market opportunities to buy your family some momentos of your trip - particularly the'coolest sister eva'! Look forward to seeing the photos.
