Yesterday we took a van with travelers from Greece and Canada up to Sa Pa in the north of Vietnam.
Our hotel was very nice with gorgeous views.
In the afternoon we met a very nice local guide who walked with us through two local villages
We saw a rice machine that processed rice for the village.While we were there a local brought a burlap bag of unprocessed rice and paid to have it milled. The machine removed the shafts and produced rice so fast.
At the end of our walk we had a drink with our guide on a restaurant terrace with nice views.
Today we took a cable car up to Fansispan, the highest peak in all of Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, China). From the cable car station, we walked up many stairs to a pagoda and Buddha statute. We could feel the altitude affects while we climbed to the peak at 10,200 feet.
There are so many scooters here! People pile loads of stuff and drive. It’s incredible!
At night we took a van back to Hanoi for a night. We walked and saw so many families with kids and babies on scooters in heavy traffic!
