Yes, Tung was a great guide, even if she was a little hung over. I just couldn't believe how sturdy she was, considering her shoes had absolutely no grip on them!! My biggest fear was falling in the rice paddies, only because I had no idea how deep it was! Probably not as bad as it looked, right? We heard from a lot of people that they got mist the entire time as well, so we were really pleased to have been able to get a taste of sunshine and of mist. Hi Gerry,

I was in Sapa in November for 5 days,stayed at the Mountain View Hotel and had Tung as a guide for a 3 day trek that I did with my sister. She made our trek quite an extraordinary experience and probably my favourite bit of Vietnam. When we were there it was rainy and misty for the whole 5 days and I could sympathise with you sliding down those red hills. Tung had to walk me round the rice paddy walls as I kept falling in!! Anyway, enjoy the rest of your trip - it sounds like you are having a ball. Regards Gerry Martin Hi Angela

I'm in SA now for a family visit, unfortunately my dad passed away while we were here which didn't do much to make Christmas/New Year enjoyable but again enjoying your travel by proxy. Your lively travel writing has brought a smile to my face for first time in a while, thanks.
