Halong Bay

Next we had a night on a junk on Halong Bay. We had a lovely group with 2 bham graduates (who didnt know rhi so i think they lied!), 2 kiwis, 2 canadians and 2 oz. The seafoos meals were delicious. We went to see the "amazing cave" and the "surprising cave". We kayaked and were offered to swim but after we had seen the oil slick, dead rat and poo in the water we stuck with the kayak!

Love from the place where we have seen bikes with pigs, ducks and trees on the back,

Sapa

So after another overnight train we arrived in Sapa. This is a very beautiful place and everywhere is covered in rice terraces. We trekked for 2 days through this scenery and saw many local people. Each village has its own language and dress. We stayed overnight at a homestay where they cooked us amazing food in a wok over a fire.

Walking around we saw piglets, puppies, buffalo, chickens and lots of children wanting sweets.

Love from the place which had no letters on their keyboard so i have done this from memory!
