Before he enters Lao Cai, we drove a taxi up to Sa Pa. It is a stretch of 38 km. It took 1 hour, which is very normal. The weather was incredibly beautiful. Because of the good weather, we took the great trekking trip today. Everyone went. Mona had decided to take along. We went to Lao Cai. Here live many ethnic groups, however there are more Black Mong. In late of the trip we also see Seid and a few red Dzau. Difficulty of the trip was too much much harder than they had anticipated. Mona had a difficult time. It is fortunate that you can get help from Black Mong. We all got a helping hand on Mong black. Tour was incredibly nice. We walked through villages, which received as we did 300 to 400 years ago in Denmark. There were many pictures. We started with the toughest trip, but all came through. Now there relaxing on the terrace. Cl. 20.00 we're going out to eat. Then there are many who have a long night's sleep. Awaits new challenges tomorrow.
