Two weeks in Vietnam

We had time to kill on Sapa before catching the bus at 3pm. We scoped out our stop according to google maps and nothing indicated a bus stop but our girl Tracy said to wait there. We headed there about 2.30 and when we could see no large green bus we established we were not in the right spot. We had to head back down the hill and around a couple of bends but got there. It was a sleeper bus so a bit weird lying down in the afternoon. The trip out of Sapa is incredibly scenic and our bus driver was a little bit crazy! They pass on hairpin bends just using their horn to let any on coming traffic know. We had a couple of stops along the way and arrived in Hanoi at 9.15. We thought we were being dropped at the hotel and amid the chaos were shuffled on to another bus to be called off and put in a taxi. The taxi had supposedly been paid for but claimed he did not get enough so we had to fork out another 80000 dong. Not sure if we were scammed 5 Aussie dollars??
Checked in to same hotel as before and straight to bed. Czytaj więcej
