Breakfast outside the homestay - pancakes with banana, lime juice and sugar, and Vietnamese tea. Quite a few other people around this morning and in the daylight you notice just how close the other houses are reflecting on the communal living of the other houses very closeOf early down the track through the rice paddies to the river. Oh no look at that bridge it looks scary. But as we got closer there was another bridge much wider and sturdier or motorbikes in there was Mr long the bus driver waiting for us on the other side.
Back to sapa in booked in to the golden sea hotel we have got to go next door to the golden sea too Hotel. This is a huge improvement on back. To bed even has an electric. Is very cold here the clouds came. We saw Sunday this morning briefly as we left the home stay at tarvan but by the time we got to Sapa it had gone. Saba is about 15 metres above sea level. Remind people in Saba are black and mole they approach us as soon as we leave the hotel wanting to sell us blankets. 140,000. It doesn't seem to make much difference if you buy something though they still want to sell you another.. No by doesn't seem to have much effect.
