Sapa (Katy)
This morning we arrived in Sapa. We got the night train last night from Hanoi. I was so tired after a full day of travelling, I slept really well. We arrived at Loi Cai at aout 6.00am then had a 45min bus ride to Sapa. The bus ride was pretty amazing, up in to the mountains, along all the little mountain roads and into the mist. A lot of the hillsides have terraces built onto them so rice, or other crops can be grown.
Sapa, and the surrounding area is home to many different tribes, many of whom still wear traditional dress.
The town is pretty small, and quite touristy, but still friendly. Every few mins the mist comes in and you can't see anything, then a few mins later it will clear to bright sunshine.
Today we are just spending our time exploring. Tomorrow we go to a market then the day after we will climb Fansipan, Vietnams highest peak.
