I'll edit the title once I've worked out where we actually stayed the night!
It started raining soon after we set off, so we sheltered under a large hut, and John and I wandered off and found a monument while Tan and Anh dug in their bags to get their rain gear out. They had thoughtfully brought extra for us - John had a full on rain suit with trousers and I got a long rain coat.
We reached the start of the Ho Chi Minh trail, took some pictures then set off down it! The scenery today was absolutely amazing.
We stopped to buy some sweets, then went to see some village kids and taught them to take sweeties from strangers. We saw an enormously rickety bridge that a couple were brave enough to cross on motorbike!
We saw Scorpion Waterfall, which was just stunning, then stopped at a family's house and watched a man making rat traps to catch food in the jungle. The kids were very cheeky and kept asking for more sweets!
The hotel was beautiful and we even had a balcony! We had a goodbye dinner with Anh and Tan for our last night then went to bed.
