Sapa images

Ah - the joy of fast Internet now I'm back in Hanoi. In no particular order...



A goat spotted on the big trek.



These terraced rice fields are amazing. The rice has been harvested now and the stubble is slashed and burned, with the ash fertilising the crop to be planted in Spring (it's just coming in to Winter here now, not that you'd know it!).

And from my balcony...




As opposed to Hanoi environs, the Sapa rice terraces are flooded, but nothing much grows this time of year.
