Hanoi

A drive back to Hanoi, Some shopping, eating and a bit of a rest, and we were ready for an overnight train trip to Sapa Hills!
Luckily we booked first class - can't begin to imagine what it was like in cattle class! We got to sleep on wooden beds with about a 5mm mattress, whilst the poor staff tried to get some sleep on the corridor floors!
The train trip took most of the night, and all we got to see were a few road crossings as we flashed past them.
We later heard that the train that ran on the following night was derailed!En savoir plus
