High up in the mountains of Northern Vietnam,very close to China and with a totally different tribal culture, Sapa was incredibly beautiful. We spent a few very happy days trekking and biking,and meeting the wonderful H Mong and Azare Tribal people. We also had the best pasta I've ever eaten -hand rolled fettuccine with foraged Mountain Mushrooms.Yum! Needless to say the likes of which would be super expensive at home.
It was a relief to be in the cool mountain air and away from the very hectic Hanoi city where we had previously spent a whirlwind 4 days,most of which with my old mate Kate who now lives there.During our stay we saw the James Bond movie (which was good... but for me was lacking Eva Green),and went to an International Music Festival which actually had better food than music ....but was great fun anyway. The daily assault by literally millions of mopeds wore me down though, along with battling crooked taxi drivers.Still the amazing French restaurants were some compensation and we ate very well indeed.
