From Hanoi to Lao Cai

 engaged Worldmate Travel upon Uncle YC's recommendation... paid usd$379 (S$511) each for 3 days 2 nights private tour for 4 in Sapa; include transport, accommodation, meals and entrance fee to all the attractions... 

老板 David 真会做人, 亲自来收钱, 送了我们一人一包 cashew nuts 和一盒咖啡

还 '两' 手 '遮' 车s, 

带领我们到附近吃早餐... 

interesting combi of eating yummy chicken pho with 油条 at the mini art store / gallery opposite the eatery

画廊老板 super 好客 + we super 捧场 = he decided to give us a live performance while we enjoyed / tried Vietnamese dripped coffee... 😂😂😂

 

cheery street art 


driver + guide Alex + 4 of us in a 16 seater = i had a whole 3rd row to myself... 😍😍😍 


闷中作乐




pit stop 2 hours into our journey 


3000 dong ($0.16) per usage and got such a fright when the door-less cubicle was the first i saw... heng, have normal toilet cubicles WITH DOOR at the back... 😅😅



好丰盛的 七菜一汤 for lunch @ Le Bordeaux




Yun Nan, China is just a river away... even the custom can be considered a place of interest... interesting... 😂😂😂




peddlers selling Chinese products such as red dates & walnuts 







an unexpected visit to the nearby Coc Leu B wet market as our vehicle took longer than expected to  complete its gear repair... 






很像好久好久以前 woodlands custom 的老巴刹...
