Hoi An truly impressed me. This is where all the charm is. European architecture is rampant. As we walked around the old town and admired the neat yellow houses with their balconies and awnings I honestly couldn’t believe we were still in Vietnam. But with the addition of the palm trees, the beach, and the tropical weather this obviously wasn’t Europe either. Hoi An it’s a really must see place in Vietnam. I could have wandered around for days, slowly taking in every side street and every alley until I had the whole city locked in my memory. Not for Dave though. If all the streets look similar he only needs to see just one. So we compromised on about twenty. We also signed up for a free tour led by university students aiming to improve their English Riding bicycles, we made our way to the pier for a short ferry ride over to the local island. This was a tour of locals’ daily activities and work. Our first stop on the tour was to see how boats are made on the island. Can you believe they drop entire tree logs into the water for an entire year in order to improve the quality and durability of the wood? Each boat has an eye painted on the front to keep away sea monsters, as there was the belief that these sea creatures would sink boats in the past. From there we biked over to the wood carving workshop where we got to see the master and his apprentices at work. My favorite part of the tour was coming up next – the rice noodle making shop. Having the chance to see the rice batter spread onto the skillet, flipped over, dried on a bamboo mat and then run through the pasta machine or manually cut by hand to make the noodles was particularly exciting. I even got a chance to try this myself which mostly ended in epic failure: / Since the finished noodle only sells for $1 per kilogram, you can imagine how much they need to make in one day. Dave got a chance to show off his skills at the mat making shop - another epic failure. We finished off the tour biking past rice paddies, farm animals and palm trees. Overall we had a great time on the tour and in Hoi An.

From Hanoi we took the overnight train to Hue – where there were a bunch of attractions (Imperial Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda, Tomb of Minh Mang, Tomb of Khai Dinh, Tomb of Tu Duc, which can all be combined into one tour. Vietnam is developed enough that many of the hotels offer tours for next to nothing. For example, for a mere $9 you received transportation on an AC bus to a half-dozen attractions (not including entrance fee), lunch, a tour guide, and a boat ride on the return trip. Economically it almost doesn’t seem possible. Still, one must always remember the adage that “you get what you pay for”. In this case, you have to be prepared for the tour to begin late, be terribly organized, and to run you around to various shops with the intention of you buying souvenirs. Still an unbeatable deal though! At night we met up with Nu, (from Couchsurfing), who showed us to a local soup stall in an alley where we enjoyed fish soup followed by coffee at a café overlooking the river. Afterwards, she took us to indulge in 35 cent baguette sandwiches from a local lady selling them at a foot of a bridge. The woman sits under the bridge, every evening, surrounded by bowls, pots and even a gas burner to make small banh mi sandwiches (with an optional fried egg). She’s there until the ingredients run out. The sandwiches were nothing short of delicious (and the best deal EVER). In Hue we also met a young aspiring Vietnamese businessman who already had an ingenuous plan and a great service to sell to tourists. We treated him to 40 cent fresh fruit smoothies as we listened to his life story and grand plan.

We did a 2 day 1 night tour of Halong Bay,recently named one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. After two months in China, we were dying to see the ocean, and even though this spot is super touristy and highly commercialized we still loved the scenery and had a great experience. We got to kayak around the karst limestone peaks which instantly reminded me of Yangshuo in China, except in the ocean. There were 20 people or so on board all from different countries – Canada, France, Hungary, China, etc. After dinner our guide informed us that we could fish off the back of the boat, and if any squid were caught we could have them for breakfast the following morning. Our night activity was set, and for the next two hours a group of 7 or so lounged around on the back of the boat fishing for squid. No squid were caught. Luckily breakfast was not entirely dependent on our amateur fishing skills.

We spent 3 days in Sapa – mainly to trek around the rice terraces with Sapa Sisters - a two day trekking tour run entirely by the local Hmong women. After 2.5 months of traveling this was our first organized guided tour with our guide Lang. On our way we passed through several Vietnamese villages, hidden away in the mountains of Sapa. As chance would have it, we even ran into Lang’s mother, who greeted us warmly. Lang was great in explaining the intricate details of the rice fields. Frankly, we’d seen these things several times before in China but this was the first time we had ever walked through them and thought deeply about them. For example, I had no idea how much rice a family had to grow just to cover their own yearly consumption. Trust me, it’s a lot. Vietnam has 54 ethnic groups and the Hmong are simply one that are popular in Northern Vietnam, mostly around Sapa. It was particularly interesting to hear about some of the practices that still take place among today’s Hmong such as arranged marriages (though that appears to be slowly transitioning out). We also learned Lang only completed a few years of schooling before having to work to help the family. She is married with a 2 yr old boy and while her husband wants to purchase a water buffalo, who the boy can care for, Lang is adamantly against this, pushing for him to complete his schooling instead.
The second day involved some more intense hiking as Lang opted to take us a bit more off the beaten path and we hiked up an entire rice terrace. Quite fortunately both days had reasonable visibility, and the view of the rice terraces was nothing short of spectacular.

We only spent 2 days in this really quaint and charming town. The mountain scenery was incredible and from the Black Dragon Pool you get a spectacular view of the Jade Snow Mountain. Fairly relaxed and laid back time here without any major frustrations.

After hearing from Dave’s former colleague that Lugu Lake was an absolute must see, we made sure to pencil it in. From Chengdu we hopped on a night train arrived in the dead of night and realized the bus station would not be within walking distance. We’d have to deal with the dreaded cabs. The moment you walk out they encircle you; And then it turns out neither you nor they understand the word for bus station. Yay for internet cafes with Google translate. After some minor haggling we were on our way. We were in for quite the ride. Being the only foreigners on the bus we set off, whizzing past beautiful scenery; farm animals scattered along the road and the occasional traffic jam. The roads, only one lane wide, were winding around mountains sides. Luckily there was a lunch stop included. With a swift move we called over the waiter and strictly in Chinese ordered rice, tofu, and requested the tofu to be non spicy. The waitress almost fell out of her chair (little did she know we had exhausted our entire vocabulary). After what was our most interesting bus ride in China we made it to the Lugu Lake town. This was our where we celebrated Thanksgiving in 2012 (no turkey or stuffing in sight) The next day we rented mountain bikes and set out for a leisurely bike ride around the lake. 60 kilometers? No problem. A warning from the hostel – the bike ride would be “hilly” This was not hilly. This was mountainous. Combined with the high elevation of 2000 meters and you find yourself out of breath after climbing one “hill”. Definitely not enough energy or oxygen supply for me to bike up a mountain side. At times I felt like I just might suffocate and keel over. And there wasn’t just one uphill part. It went back and forth between downhill and uphill. Downhill was thrilling yet the uphill was pure torture. After 50 km I was done. I had gotten my exercise for the day and was ready to fall flat on my face. Yet we had 10 more kilometers to go. My back was throbbing from leaning over an improperly sized handlebars for hours and my legs were pure jelly. The minutes dragged on and on. Eventually almost 7 hours after we started we made it back. Success.
