sapa day 2


So, there was supposed to be a typhoon coming but we heard it was going to miss us. Still, it was raining a lot, and it just kept getting harder throughout the day. The path we were walking on was flooded, and mudslides had covered large portions of the path. Very unsafe, but they must not worry about lawsuits in Vietnam. I assume it's impossible to get damages from people and life is cheap. Saw one vietnamese guy almost sent over a cliff by the crazy water we had to pass through. Anyway, I'm glad to have survived. We cut the trek a little short and headed back to the hotel in a van (except for the guys who were lost for about 4 hours. saw them later). My new shoes were pretty messed up and my socks were turned permanently brown by the mud.
