Peaceful lake day

Northern Vietnam consists mainly of mountains. Cute looking karst mountains covered in trees and other greens. They kinda look fluffy. Between the mountains there are valleys. Even more fluffy. Green and lush valleys where people grow rice, corn, bananas, indian shot, and some kind of reed or grass we didn't know but we think it's used for feeding animals.

Driving through northern Vietnam feels like this: up the mountain (use lower gear, steep curvy road) - down the mountain (use brakes, steep curvy road) - through the valley and the village (drive slowly, there's so much to see, sometimes animals are blocking the road) - and up the mountain again. ☺️

We spent a chill day at Thang Hen lake and went to Angel Eye Mountain, where we saw two buffalos wallow in the mud. It's super peaceful in those little villages. Fun fact: strawberries grow here! Real forest strawberries, just like back home! 😃Read more
