On our last day in Sapa we were numb and lifeless, idly waiting for the night train to take us back to Hanoi for a final day of shopping, writing postcards, and pondering about what has passed in the last 27 days. Our trip was almost over, but not quite yet. In short... |

On Christmas Eve, we celebrated our victory over the mountain in a karaoke bar in Sapa. Over a couple of bottles of Hanoi vodka, our mood got progressively lighter, while our singing got progressively worse. At 2:00 AM, after scaring away the other customers with our take of "Hotel... |

The second day proved much more difficult. We started early and made the steep ascent to the peak in just over four hours. The descent was a long, up and down struggle, covering a considerable distance back to the road. We were picked up by an old Russian army jeep and arrived back at the Sapa... |

Čudovita pot! Me veseli, da se slovenci tako radi potepamo naokrog po svetu. Upam, da nam letos uspe narediti potovanje v Vietnam podobno vašemu, le da začnemo na severu in končamo v Bangkoku. p.s.: a je prestop meje med Tajsko in Kambodžo res tako kompliciran? Sam sem si zamislil, da bi leteli v Bangkok, prestopili in leteli v Hanoi, nato z avtom, ali kako pač do Saigona, ter čez Kambodžo z javnim prevozom v Bangkok...v mesecu dni. lp

Zdravo! Prestop meje med Tajsko in Kambodzo je res nekoliko zoprn. Drzavi nista ravno v najboljsih odnosih, tako da obmejna mesta niso najbolj razvita, meje pa so precej zaprte (razen za turiste). Mislim, da ni moznosti javnega prevoza cez mejo. Cez mejo je treba it pes in zamenjat prevoz, ali pa se pustit rahlo nategnit kaki sumljivi "turisticni" agenciji. Na internetu se najde precej dobrih napotkov glede prestopa meje. Nisem cisto preprican, ce je v Vietnamu mozen najem avtomobila brez voznika. Sicer pa hvala za prijazen komentar :) Zelim vam srecno in prijetno potepanje po Aziji!
