Leaving Mai Chau for Puluong by Simi

We left our humble home stay for the terraced paddy fields of Puluong.

We decided to walk the last part of the way as could cut through paddy fields and enjoy the view more whilst the minivan had to take the long winding road round.

The slow pace in Pu Luong , like Mai Chau is a striking contrast to life in Hanoi just a few hours away. Endless mountains, fertile valleys and pristine jungle and the extremely attractive rice terraces are all very good for the soul as well as being photogenic!

Everyone we see whether it’s a small cute child, a moped riding teenager, a hard working farmer, a older generation hand loomer.. smile and say big hellos! It’s completely charming and beguiling to see their huge smiles and their gentle friendliness to us all.

We arrived at our lovely hotel
And enjoyed a dip in the pool
And dinner !Baca lagi
