I am writing this on a minibus heading back to Hanoi. These guys know how to provide internet accessability! Australia take note!

We are having such a good run with the weather. Another beauty! We packed after breakfast ready for midday checkout.

Decided to walk up to the local gardens, a high point in the town. A steep walk up but nice views and interesting plants and also a cultural performance. Lisa even had a go at archery! Later a H'Mong family wanted their photo taken with us! Returned to Sapa, legs aching and had a nice lunch at the Indigo Restaurant (again).

Quite sadly said goodbye to the lovely hotel staff, so many beautiful smiles from a people that seem unaffected by western culture. It would be so nice if it stayed that way!
