Ha Giang Day 4

We are almost done. Last day today, I tried to have a day of no photos but some of the views are too hard to resist. Then of course there was a waterfall and a washed out road so I had to film those.

First stop was the waterfall just up the road from our homestay. It is really hot this morning and by the time we had all walked only about 500m we were dying to get in the water. So refreshing and a rock to jump off. Interestingly with a Danger/ No Jumping sign that obviously nobody took any notice of. It kept all the children amused for a good while at least.

Getting changed after a waterfall visit is not that much fun. Rather awkward, sticky and cumbersome. By the time we got back to the bikes we were boiling again.

Luckily it’s cool while you’re riding and we had a few more photo stops before we got to the almost impassable village road.

Pretty impressed I managed to video and hang on at the same time on that shocking road. They had another big downpour last night and that along with a landslide they had last week has created havoc on the local village road.

We stopped in the village for lunch which was another version on the same theme as yesterday. Guess they know what the riders want. Goodness it is hot in the valley villages though.

We’re all getting buses either back to Hanoi or to Sapa so it’s a hive of activity when we get back to the hostel. Showers, goodbyes, phone charging, grab food. We’re finally on our bus about 5.30. Only 6 hours to Sapa woohoo!Read more
