Day 116 Deluge

28/06/13
It took a while to persuade myself to go and get breakfast in the rain so it ended up being more of a brunch. My meal was huge, I ordered the set breakfast of coffee, mango juice and an omelette. The omelette came with 6 pieces of bread, overkill if I have ever seen it. I actually wanted to see some of the countryside around Sapa so when it stopped raining , even though the clouds were still low, I set off towards a nearby tribal village. Not 500m down the road and it started to rain again, I decided to wait a couple of minutes to see what direction the rain would take, unfortunately it got heavier so I turned back. I spent the next couple of hours looking out of my window, hoping it would stop but no joy. Just after 16.00 I checked out and got some linner (lunch/dinner) then I made my way to the bus station for 17.30, although it was nearer 19.00 by the time we set off. As per usual the bed was uncomfortable (mine didn't even recline properly) so I didn't get any sleep.
