As I said in the last post, one of the first things we noticed about Sa Pa was the weather. When we arrived it was warm and sunny, when we headed out for some food about an hour later it was cold and cloudy. From the window of our room we could see the ... Read more >

Food - baby eels in Tavan village. (Homestay in a village near Sapa)

Having had a fairly unexciting few days in Hanoi (which, by the way is lovely... I just didn't do anything) I headed to Sapa in the far north with a few of the same group I was with in Cambodia. We caught a sleeper train from Hanoi to Lao Cai, which ... Read more >

On Monday morning, we woke up to a knock on the door of our train cabin about 5am or so. We gathered our bags and got off at the Lao Cai station where we had a driver pick us up for the drive to Sapa town; about 45 minutes to an hour. The scenery ... Read more >

Sapa:
Sapa, in the hills of Northern Laos, was a retreat for French colonialists when the plains became too hot. We could see why they chose the spot. The beautiful views of ... Read more >

Hello! We had such a good time at the Phong Nha Farmstay that we didn't get a chance to do many updates. Long story short: the caves are spectacular, the locals are charming, the countryside is beautiful, and many friends were made. ... Read more >

After a 10 hour arduous night train to the Sapa Mountains, in a tiny cabin with hard mattresses and 6 to a cabin(!), we were woken at 6am with a woman at our door shouting 'Coffee, coffee'! This was our cue to get up and get out of the train... Bleary ... Read more >

From Hue, on to Hanoi, which is very similar to Ho Chi Minh/Saigon in the south of Vietnam. That is not to say that there are no differences however. I would say that Hanoi has certainly made more of an effort not to erode the precious green spaces ... Read more >

North Vietnam is nothing like I expected it to be. Perhaps it is only that Sapa (a small village known for its good trekking and mountain tribe women dressed in traditional clothing and selling hand made crafts) is the exception to the rule for this ... Read more >

The Loch Ard crashed into these cliffs on the night of May 31, 1878, with 54 people on board. They had been celebrating the successful end of their three month voyage from England, or so they thought. They were due in Melbourne the next day, but there was thick fog and visibility was likely nil. The captain stayed on deck through the night but at 4am the fog lifted and they were right under the cliffs. The captain tried to turn the ship away and almost succeeded, but she ran aground on a reef and stuck fast. The waves quickly smashed the ship to bits and prevented lifeboats being launched. The ship sank in about 15 minutes, and in the end only two people survived, an 18 year old boy, Tom, and 17 year old girl, Eva, who survived by clinging to wreckage and were rescued 5 hours later. Bear in mind this was June, heading into winter. The water was cold enough in March!
