Road trip through North Vietnam

On Monday we set off on our road trip through the mountains. After driving for most of the day (taking turns so that we can all say that we have driven a car in Vietnam) we arrived at our first accommodation which was a beautiful little homestay in the middle of nowhere.

Day two (Tuesday) started bright and early with some rather interesting looking but very tasty breakfast.
After Will had finished everyone's food, we drove to a majestic waterfall right at the border to China (Ban Gioc Waterfall, 4th largest waterfall at an international border). Because it was drisling with rain, we decided to go full on Vietnamese style and borrow some leaf hats (Nón lá). Well actually we thought we were buying them for an insanely cheap price until the lady asked us to return them on our way out. Anyway, definitely worth the 30 cents.
Next on our agenda was a hike. However, after a local advised us not to do the hike that Ny had selected because we'd definitely get lost, we opted for a safer buy equally as beautiful walk.Læs mere
