The second day walking was even hotter, but less of a descent. Again, we were crossing paddy fields and villages.
For a while, we were shadowed by this group of kids walking the same trail as us – on stilts!
Then we plunged into thick bamboo forests. Great fun, moving through swirls of green, avoiding muddy sinkholes by swinging on bendy bamboo poles. Poor Cindy got quite bogged down!
Watch out for that buffalo!
After the bamboo, we came across a glorious cascade of water. Clothes off and straight under for the most refreshing shower we could imagine – and with an unbeatable view. Then it was down the final trail, over the last bridge and a gentle walk along the river to our pick-up. Here’s Karen back in Sa Pa, ready for the train back!
