Sapa, Day two

Two things I don't do well.

 Cold and long walks. Glynis booked this trip. Next time lets do a self drive motorcycle tour  somewhere hot.


Start of the 14km walk

Down the road past the service station. You cant miss it.

Some locals joined our hike

We were adamant that we were not going to purchase from them and made it clear.

Thought the hills and rice paddies we trekked

The path was slippery and wet in places. The locals girls were with us the whole time and sometimes gave a hand at the slippery sections.

I don't know why but it is not possible to travel with people and not feel a connection. These girls knew it. We did buy from them once we got to our first pit stop. There were very happy but I regret not buying more. A few dollars is nothing to us but important to them.

Undecided if she is going to jump or  is limbering up to the run the last few kilometers.

  



Constant rain made a great stepping waterfall.

Even the little kids ended up over taking me on the straights.

So engrossed in this animal I did not realise there was a pig in a cage behind it
