Day 4 - Sapa!

We have been waiting for our trek into the Sapa mountain region! We take an overnight train and then bus into the mountains to the summit town of Sapa. From there we hike with our local tribe guide down into the villages and stay overnight with a family. Then climb our way back up the other side of the valley to be picked up.

This was so much harder than we had imagined, and been told by the tour booker; however, we're glad we didn't know how hard it was going to be b/c we NEVER would have booked and it truly was an experience not to be missed.  The valley below Sapa is amazing, the people are amazing, and we had the best time.  Day 1 of the trek was very muddy and foggy.  We had to climb/jump/slide down rice paddies, some of which were over 4 feet tall.  Our guide, Ky, was so funny.  She would laugh and make jokes about us going back to the main road and staying in a hotel overnight.  I seriously almost took her up on that a few times!



Home sweet home!

Ahhh! Diner is served!
