Vietnam 1

To maximize our time and squeeze every last drop of enjoyment out of this trip, we take the night train to Sapa in a very luxurious, private sleeper. Upon arrival, we go straight to the local market and see, chickens, ducks, vegetables, clothes and unfortunate living fish being chopped in half. The rice fields are stunning (the main reason we came here). Our guide, Miss May, knows the best places to eat and drink with the locals and shows us how the local people live their lives.
After a quick night trip south we go to Halong Bay where we sleep on the boat and visit the Caves and go squid fishing. I give Karaoke in Vietnamese a go and everyone has a good laugh at me.
