Sapa Trek #2, The Heights

After a luxurious private breakfast at the hotel, May met us for our second Sapa trek, a downhill walk of 10k (more like 10 miles) to see a couple of the valley villages. The walk took the better part of the day, and so I'll divide it between the heights and the villages.

Not in English, too
