First Week in Vietnam

VIETNAM | Thursday, 12 April 2007 | Views [411] | Comments [4]

Vietnam has been a-mazing! Today we arived in Sapa at 6 in the morning. We causght the train from Hanoi at ten last night, that was an experience in its self, it was ment to be first class lol. But it was worth it because this place is beautiful. It was a bit dissapointing that it was so foggy, but even through the mist you could still see the spectacular views of the mountins and vallys and the small tribes that lived in them.

Having a rest in the morning and enjoting the views from the hotel and a massage that i thought was only head and shoulders, turned out to be the whole body! We wandered through a vally to see the life of the local indigenous people. The girls wore beautiful dresses and belts with embroidery upon them and their arms, covered in silver braclets and also with large hooped earings. We all made friends with the younger girls, which was very helpful, because later in the day, me and my friend couldnt find our hotel so they showed us.

Glad to hear from you and to hear that you are having such a fascinating time. I hope Mr. Kelly is holding up. On the return train trip tell him that I can vouch for the luggage racks as a place for him to rest his weary head. He would not be out of place. Anyway enjoy every moment.
