Good evening Lan,

The rest of the journey went very well until Pu Long, largely thanks to Thien who quickly understood what we wanted to see (amazing hikes) and what we wanted to experience in our interactions with the minority ethnic groups. Thanks to our guide, we had many warm exchanges and shared beautiful emotions over tea, fruits, and bong gao in their humble homes. Unforgettable experiences in the villages of tiles, knives, incense, and weaving.

An opportunity for great happiness to experience the Than Minh festival proposed by Thien.

Thank you for the foot massage, which was a pure moment of relaxation... It made us want to book a full body massage upon our return from Pu Long.

We are truly delighted with our journey in the North, although we missed the good weather a bit.

A word also about our driver, who was extremely careful on the mountain roads and always provided valuable assistance with a smile for his passengers.

Looking forward to continuing towards Halong Bay tomorrow.

Sorry for the late message, but we just returned from the unusual 'train street.'

Good night. Thinking of you.

Patrick and Marie Perou
