Sapa
Tumblr media
Sapa is in the North of Vietnam and requires a 5 hour bus journey or an overnight sleeper train. We opted for the sleeper train. This proved to be pretty vintage in style, facilities were rustic but very comfortable overall.聽

We had a carriage to ourselves. There were complementary snacks and drinks and a cosy set up for sleeping. Rob did fall out of bed at one point but mostly the gentle rocking of the train made for a relaxing journey.
We arrived in Sappa early 5.30 am. We were collected by mini bus which took the winding roads up to Sappa town. It rained heavily and the hillside was hidden by thick cloud. This was probably a good thing as at times we were perilously close to the edge of the mountainside. Eventually we were dropped at a hotel where we grabbed breakfast and our guide Vu met us. Our tour was run by Sapa Hmong family adventures.聽 See the link below.

http://hmong-family.comAs the rain had made paths slippery and muddy our first stop was to the local market to buy some wellies. Next we headed to a聽 Cat Cat Village where Hmong life and culture were on display.聽

We then hiked through the mountains about 8 km to our lunch stop. The views were breath taking. Being immersed in so much green was definitely good for the soul. As well as Vu guiding us and telling us about the life of the Hmong people we also had a follower who helped me on slippery downhills. She was carrying a baby on her back too, but I am not ashamed to ask for help!聽

Lunch, as we were quickly discovering about Vietnamese food in general, was delicious and filling.聽

In the afternoon saw different domestic animals, farm dogs, ducks and water buffalo and lots of chicks and chickens, free range everywhere. The trails took us through small villages and between the terraced rice paddies. Rob also got to try out the traditional rice mill.聽
We reached our home stay by late afternoon. Here we appreciated a shower and and refreshing cup of tea. A bit later we were joined by a charming extended French family and spent the evening playing with the children and helping make dinner. We were all taught how to make fresh spring rolls.聽
Tumblr media
The food and the company made for a very fun evening. Rob even tried hornet Vietnamese sake. We slept in the loft space of one of the family houses. It was very comfortable if a little noisy with roosters crowing and a ferocious thunder storm.聽
The next morning we rose pretty early and were treated to tasty pancakes.聽
Tumblr media
During the morning hike we were very appreciative of our wellies as the thunderstorm had dissolved the path into sticky mud. We walked through a bamboo forest and visited a waterfall before finishing a steep uphill with well deserved noodles. A truly magical tour and homestay, we hope to return for more adventures in Sapa.聽
