Trip to Thailand, Laos & Vietnam: Sapa

The local women are persistent salespeople. Here they are lurking outside my hotel.

My room in the Pumpkin Hotel. Comfy but cold. A heater was available for $4 a night.

The excellent Italian restaurant right across the street.

A fireplace was standard in most good restaurants and welcome in the cold high air.

The view from my balcony. The town was covered in mist during most of my visit.

Unusual flowers in the lobby.
