An adventure hike on our day off

. Our World Tour Adventure ., Vietnam

Thursday November 20, 2014

We joined a tour of Sa Pa’s ethnic villages with a hike down the mountain and through a valley with several villages. It was a bit harrowing as we negotiated the muddy trail to reach the villages. It was a very challenging all day affair.
