Day 10: More Rain in Sa Pa or "How to Entertain Yourself in a Small Town"


By breakfast it was apparent to us that trekking would be wet and miserable. We opted to meet Daht, pose for a pic, give him his tip and hang out in town until our train back to Hanoi departed in the evening...hence me writing this post from the Internet cafe.

We retired to Highlands Coffee for some more Vietnamese deliciousness and played some UNO with a couple backpacking kids for a few hours. Suddenly we were both glad we weren't touring the international hostel circuit any longer...definitely too old for that stuff.


The rain stopped (shocking!) just before our scenic drive back to Lao Cai rail station. We met up with our Spaniards again and began possibly THE most uncomfortable train journey in the history of Vietnam.
