Ga Hanoi = Hanoi Station, i think so.=P
Our train will start the journey at 21:10. It will take around 9 hours to reach Ga Lao Chai. So usually who visit to Sapa, will take the night train so can sleep on train and reach Lao Chai on next morning.
ET-Pumpkin Train, From Hanoi to Lao Chai
Quite confused with the cabin number. 8 of us, hold the ticket and keep searching our berth. We are blur ready, don't know which one is our berth.
Finally, we decoded the alien language of the tickets.haha...my room, Room 6 with 4 softsleeper, free 4 mineral water.=P
I thought i cant sleep well. Luckily, i fall asleep quickly as pig. Most probably i'm already tired. I still wake up at midnight, too hot, suddenly no air cond.
Come out from the entrance, looking for the tour guide. The coach is ready. Guests are too many, cant fit all of us. The whole coach full with "Mat Salleh", just few of us. We need to squeeze into the coach with the luggage together.
The journey from Lao Chai to Sapa is around 45 minutes. Weather is a bit cool over there. This is the first sight of me when reach the Sapa Summit Hotel. The main entrance full with minority.Most of them is Black H'mong and assemble at the hotel to sell their handmade handicraft.
Our room, not bad and comfortable as well. My other friends' room even with queen size bed and a single bed.
View from our room.
First
simple breakfast of mine in Sapa. I heard Sapa famous with french
bread. I ordered french bread with omelet & hot green tea
without sugar.. Inside is soft and outside is crispy.
One of the famous food in Vietnam, beef noodle. Not mine.>.<
After our breakfast, our first trekking start. We start our journey from hotel at 9.00am.
Lot of minorities trekking with us along the journey.

speak English well.
Su
showed the map and explain to us the trekking direction. We will
trekking about 7km to Cat Cat Village and Sin Chai Village.Go through
Black H'mong tribe and the terrace. Believe they just start to plant the
padi, so the colour of the terrace still brown in colour.Some of the
terrace already harvested.
That is a amazing place. Not only one hill but is hillssssss connected each others.
One kind of berry, Su pluck it for us. Sour and a bit sweet in taste.
