Last look at Sapa



The French instigated a building boom in the 1930's as an escape from the coastal heat. The weather was wet the entire time so photos were very difficult.

Looking over the wall into someone's vegetable garden.

This restaurant, built on the side of a hill has an interesting walkway up to it.

That walkway is too cool, Jules.
I suppose after a good night out they just roll you back down it?

And what a beautiful place, built around a little lake with lovely mountains all round. Wonderful.

I had to laugh at the vision inDive's comment, I could imagine to much drink and a mighty fall also.. ha!.. The whole place looks very fragile.
Love the garden, no place as been waste. The building looks to have been made from cobbles or river stones.

Managing these steps even sober would be an effort I reckon !!


The place is lovely but when umbrellas are a stock item in a hotel room you know it is very wet - too wet for this little black duck!!!!

An Englishman would feel right at home!

You'd love it Dive and not only because of the rain.

I love this photo Jules. It looks like a place I could hide for a while and gain some sweet solitude.
