Going to Sapa

June 12, 2019 by Britney Wilson

Last night I road on my first overnight train and it was an interesting experience. The beds were small, we couldn’t figure out how to shut the overhead light off, and it was very shaky but overall I slept pretty well.

Aside from constantly being woken up this morning by rosters and construction, today was the first time on the trip that I was able to sleep in past 9am.

Today has been a busy day with several tours around Hanoi. We first visited the presidents palace and got to learn the history of President Ho Chi Minh that lived and worked there.
