We got picked up spot on 8am like they said, are we still in Asia!? We jumped aboard the 20 seat and low and behold Caroline was on there! She booked the same trip as us but only for one one night and two days were as we are doing the two nights and three days. After the rounds it took us 4 and half hours to get to the boat dock and that was with a much needed break for the happy room and some breakfast. The weather wasn't great when we arrived at the harbo...

There isn't much for us to do in Hanoi today and I wasn't feeling the best, I'm full up with a cold and have bad sinus. We ventured out late, went to the travel agency to let them know where we were staying so they could pick us up tomorrow. We went to a restaurant we had been before that was really good. Scott had recommendation to try Cha Bo, it's supposed to be a spicy beef broth with noodles in but it wasn't. There were noodles and and beef, lots of mint an...

We had a really late wake up call this morning, and no body was in our 'dorm' so we had a private room for dorm room prices which was good! We went out for breakfast at about 10.30am, hoping to go to little Sapa for food but they were still saying that they were closed! They have lost so much business off just us lot over the last few days! We settled for the fansipan restaurant, it was nice sitting outside on the terrace watching the world go by, and the Pho w...

We had to check out again this morning and put our bags in the third hotel of Sapa, luckily it was about 4 doors down so we just had to dump our bags and check in later on. The weather was gorgeous today, no fog this morning just the odd couple of clouds! We had our farewell meal with Caroline before she headed off to Hanoi, we won't see her again now. Maybe if she's in London or we pop over and have a few skiing lessons from her in Switzerland! Haha. We got a ...

6am was not a nice wake up call this morning, it felt as though I was getting up for a cleaning shift down the centre, YUK. I had to run about throwing my clothes on because it was freezing, if we hadn't have had to check out of this hotel because it's fully booked with Vietnamese then we could have had an extra hour in bed! We left our bags at reception until after the trek because we wouldn't have been able to check in that early to our next hotel before 12-1...
