Pac Bó & Traveling to Ha Giang

After sharing another cosy family room at our second homestay we drove to the nearby Pac Bó historical site where Ho Chi Minh lived and worked).

Thinking it would only be a quick stop we decided to postpone breakfast until after visiting the site for efficiency reasons. After first driving to the wrong place we arrived at the entrance gate and realised it was actually a massive area with many different sights to explore. Under caffeinated and hangry we started our hike up to the first memorial sight which offered a beautiful panoramic view but was sadly under construction. Further up the road we finally managed to find some grilled potatoes, boiled eggs and COFFEE that gave us the energy to climb the endless stairs up to the caves.
Despite the bumpy start, we'd highly recommend checking out the place if you ever happen to be near the Chinese border.

Before driving for almost 6 hours to Ha Giang we tried the famous local duck pho which I don't think we'll be having again. When we finally got to Ha Giang, Ny arranged our motorbike hire for the following days and then it was bed time because we needed all the sleep we could get for the 3-4 days of adventure ahead of us.Read more
