Sapa

The 9 hour overnight train from Hanoi to Sapa was surprisingly comfortable and quiet. We arrived this morning at around 7am. The town is breathtakingly beautiful full of vast green mountains.

Shot of the side of our hotel.

Random street side buffalo.

Random black piglet.

A one and a half hour walk took us to this waterfall.

This local woman walked along with us for the start of the trip. She is wearing traditional black H'mong dress, typical of this area. All the women have very long hair, as it is considered bad luck to cut your hair after the age of 12.

Good ol' basket for a backpack.

One of many colourful stalls that sell locally hand-made fabrics and jewellery.
