I came back from Sapa this morning at around 5.30 with the night train. The trains are quite comfortable, even in the 6-people soft-sleeper. After breakfast with some people from my Sapa trekking group I headed out to search for a new hotel; this time a somewhat more expensive and better 2-Star hotel for 20 $ per night. But I feel that it is worth it and I want to enjoy my holiday, so don't think to much abou the $.
After showering and resting for a while I went to see some sights in Hanio with my new Vietnamese friend Hanh (who I met on the trip to Sapa). She took me all around the city on her motorbike, and so I got to see the Ho Chih Min Mausoleum, bot only from the outside, as it is closed on mondays, the zoo and the temple of wisdom (some kind of Confucius temple and the oldest university of Vietnam, dating back to around 1076 AD).
Later I met my Dutch friend Leonore and her colleauge Jurgen (?), who both do an internship here.
That's about it for the day, time to go to bed and relax...
