Day 2 and we drove further into the mountains to Pu Luong, As we climbed the traffic cleared, so in theory it should have been a quick drive, but with free range chickens, cows, dogs and children on every bend it was a slow game of dodgems.

Connection has been so rubbish I’m just going to sum it all up.

More of the green.

Bamboo bridge – scary for me but frankly I’m a wimp.

Mobile fish farm. A 100 fish in there and they are fed in banana leaves.

Wandered into the local school for a look and a chat. Like you do. No ID or police check required unlike UK schools.

We had an extra guide just for the mountain trek. Not a word of English but he’s a chelsea fan. Not seen Tim as happy as this the whole trip. Brotherhood…

Waterwheel. Just brilliant technology when you have no electrical machinery.

Homestay lunch – we’ve had a few. Homestay is basically like our Airbnb. Always delicious local food and far too much of it. No small portions in Vietnam.

Then a vertical climb up the mountain in 30 degree heat and humidity just for the fun of it.

Random cow and chicken scene

Leam very pleased with the bananas he got for $2

Bye Mai Châu.
