So here I am back in 'delightfull' noisy dirty Hanoi! The smell and pollution really hits you after being away from it. I thoroughly enjoyed Sapa - it was the perfect break with fresh mountain air, good food and good company - complete relaxation. Not up to much today - spot of shopping and mostly eating, drinking and reading in cafes as fly to Hong Kong tonight. Hope all is well in the UK - please don't anyone I know head to London xx p.s Dav...

Yep I'm back in lovely cool (and wet) Sapa.

The trip itself wasn't great as it was poorly organised (our guide basically couldn't give a rats ass!!) and we were practically starved (by my standards anyway!) the whole time...

Well it has certainly been a memorable couple of days.... After checking into a seemingly nice hotel (although still 84 steps to climb to the room every day!) and having dinner just around the corner we returned hoping for a good nights sleep..... Little did we know that we'd be returning to a building site!!! While the guys chipped away at the wall, the girls carried the cement up and down the stairs!! The banging continued all sodding night!
