Sapa - high place near China. Cold.
Hill tribes people - photogenic but worse than flys, and oh so smug. No, I not buy from you. I dont need a crappy hat! Apparently the harvest is over so they have nothing better to do than descend on tourists like vultures. Hello, money? No.
Peter and Helena, a British-French husband-wife, who, like us, delighted in flouting tours and taking ourselves around the area on motorbikes. The beauty of a place exists without a pricey tour group and greedy guide, I shit you not. We had a ball.
Terraced rice paddies in the clouds
This bridge was more rickety than anticipated, missing boards, swinginess, woaah, what a thrill! We went 100km this day.
Take that harsh conditions, a poncho for all three of us!
This was the view we emerged from the cloud to see. We free wheeled silently in neutral for 18.6km down the windy road shown below. Breathtaking. The highest peak in Vietnam (3160m) left its wispy hat on.
