    Sapa Cloudy Mountains Hostel Day 2

    August 27, 2017 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Ouch. Today we have learnt a few valuable lessons.
    1) Sun cream. Always.
    2) If tour guides trek 5 miles with you, they are not doing it for the conversation.
    Anyway, £20 worse off and ready for a painful nights sleep we will not make these mistakes again!
    The day started off with a failed quest to hire a moped - another trek it is. We decided to head towards Muong Hoa Valley and the surrounding villages. The hike was much more pleasant today, compared to our roadside walk yesterday. The views again were unbelievable and we were blown away by the beauty of the countryside.
    After another long day of walking though, our legs told us not to attempt the uphill back to Sapa. We jumped on two mopeds, which were cheap but scary, and finally made it back to the hotel late in the afternoon.
    As night drew in, we watched some locals play football and then enjoyed our last meal in Sapa. 7 o'clock tomorrow we head to Ha Giang!
