We left Sapa by bus for Bac Ha and its famous market. It is mostly frequented by ethnic minorities and local people but is gradually becoming more geared up for tourists.
There were some manificent buffalo rolling around in the mud at the back of the market, just taking it easy. Although one of them became a bit leary when I tried to get too close to photo him. There was a great atmosphere there with people all gathered at the back of the market eating lunch together.
Then on to Lao Cai where we had dinner. On the way we passed the Chinese border and saw a Chinese toy market. It's fairly easy for tourists to cross the border apparently.
Finally, we borded a night train back to Hanoi.
