Overnight bus ride from Hanoi to Sapa... we arrive in Sapa at 5am and taken to a hotel where we have breakfast and told to get ready for our 'easy' 3 hour trek up to the homestay. I'm not really up for this but Stuart booked it and is really up for it so I can manage a couple hours walking can't I? We meet our guide/mountain tribe woman Cao (pronounced Show) and she is SO small!!!!! Literally a third of my size......ok maybe half my size? But still, super small...

Stuart and I hired a motorbike and rode up to the Lady Buddha. We stayed at 5mph all the way up as we are top scared to go fast !
