New and interesting

Day two in Sapa and it has been misty all day. We did manage to get up dragon mountain before all the mist came in again. Deb excited as she brought a North Face ski jacket for $75USD!!! Prob not real thing but looks good. We head back to Ha Noi tomorrow night on the train for one more night there and then onto Hue, hopefully heading for warmer climates.

Yes, Ella loves her hat ... I have a feeling she's going to look completely like a Vietnamese lady by the time we leave Vietnam lol! Off to another local village this morning then to Lao Cai this afternoon to catch the night train so will blog again tomorrow morning when we're back in Ha Noi. Neither of us have cell phone coverage up here but will be able to text again in Ha Noi although we can't phone out still for some reason. Loving your comments .. keep them coming!:)
