Then next day of our tour in Northern Vietnam. It was gray but dry which is better than gray and wet. But does not make for nice pictures. We had coffee in the room and Mitsos had some breakfast. And on the bikes we where.

I like this place! Great view and the food is good. The room is one floor down from the main building and on the other side of the road. This way you do not hear any traffic. Birds and insects only. And I love the view too.
Support my blog! Book your room here please. No difference for you but I get a little bit of Coffee money :-) Thank you!
My mother got me an Eurorail ticket when I was 15, and together with two friends, we adventured into France. This was the beginning of a new addiction. I do like to take pictures, so one thing leads to another. On this site, I want to share some of my pictures and some of my trips with you! Now I am on the road for more than 8 months every year. Visiting old friends and making new friends while exploring this big blue ball.
