My wonderful trip to Vietnam



My holiday with my family lasted 01 week in northern Vietnam. My very first impression about this country is the image of exciting trafic in Hanoi city. The street was very small that you can not park 3 cars in a lane but there are full of motorbikes everywhere. It is very popular to see people riding scouter, honda... We had visited Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, temple of literature and watch the puppet show. The vendor charged us 1usd for some apple but it was accepted if you are a foreigner here.
My second spot is Halong bay. I must say that the destination is wonderful. I love the sail, kayak, caves and fishing time. The bay itself is very peaceful and magnificient.
We spend 3 days in Cao Son with Dung, a guide recommended by our friend. This place is really out off the beaten track and we only met two Australian. The owner of Cao Son Ecolodge ( http://www.caoson-eco-lodge.com/) , mr Bang was very generous to invite us some free trip to the forest of Lapantan and nearby cave. The market of Cao Son and local life was interesting to experience. It was my happiness to enjoy the way a " village healer" praying in front of the altar. The waterfal and mountain ranges with Chay river was awesome.
I do think that our choice for Cao Son instead of Sapa was wise and wonderful.
