plan was simple as a wire. After watching everything that is to look at Danang you can take the train on the popular among tourists and tour guides praised by Danang - Hue. Even though we wanted to go on tour with those mentioned in the previous scrap Australian. But this is something that even the simplest plan can backfire. And all that the northern part of central Vietnam - just a little farther north than where it currently stayed Danang - hit during this time massive floods. As of Onet killed at least 41 people. I had heard about the coach who had fallen into the abyss, and all were drowned. Very uninteresting story: (Well, not rode the trains, although clearly this was not the biggest problem ...
In any case, not really smiled anyone to go into these areas. And the more I, because I depended mainly on the Travel by train along the coast. Surrounding Hue are very interesting for those interested in history, but I do not belong to these. So do not even really regretted having to change plans. So we decided to book a plane ticket to Hanoi. We should be in Hanoi on 17, so easily catching even the night bus to Sapa. Simple? Of course! I guess that the plane will be delayed for 2 hours: P How is everything nice consisted. And my plans have changed literally by the hour. I was therefore one night in a backpacker's hotel in Hanoi (which is a hotel Hoa told me - I knew a guy that you can trust) where I met, among others already mentioned, the Englishman (the one from the Polish fruit: P). And even buckshee I talked with my parents skypie;) And in the morning I set off to Ninh Dinh pojeżdżenia really required with a view over the next two - three days. In the Dinh Ninh are not unusual. But around are divine. This plan has already managed to successfully organize;)
DAY 1
Immediately after arriving in Ninh Binh and finding the hotel (ie in the vicinity of the South) got on the bike and at the beginning of feeling a little unsure, I moved to Tam Coc . For those who do not believe that you really traveled (there are those that insist that it is not possible because it is still alive and did not even landed in jail for killing someone along the way - thanks for the support dear! I knew that You can count on you and that you believe in me) photo is. Here you go:
And of course there are those who say that posing. But sorki hardest - taking pictures while driving is not risked P
main attraction Tam Coc (and a total of only one) is the rafting. Approximately 2 hours among the beautiful countryside. And along the way visit the caves. The ticket cost a whole 3 bucks. No wonder that so cheap, given the state courts, which are comes down ... Were it not that the river is calm and deep, more or less to the knee, I do not know if I got in: P
carriers and looked like this:
course, did not speak English: P The only word I understood was "Madam", and then followed the Vietnamese monologue: P Dude, moreover, looked a bit like detective fiction, and this is still wyłudzał me cigarettes ... Many people living in this region is alive with these rallies. It is easy to see that some people do it all his life:
really "fulrispekcik" for the Lord. And not just him, because he is not alone paddled feet. I do not poradziłabym myself even with both hands. Residents transporting tourists if you do not either and that's how they live with them (the Vietnamese przekupy ech! Always and everywhere!)
Or engaged in fishing. I suspect that this modest little river keeps the whole town ...
Along the way, passing under the three caves. They are short, so light does not need it. But even there, the Vietnamese had to stoop. What's more not to mention tourists. The impression is amazing. The following gallery of interesting shots ... But just to encourage you to look at the whole. Link as usual in the "Do not miss" on the left) Some of my photos came out as National Geographic. And thanks to the camera is nohow, and the more my ... Simply place is unearthly ...
You do not have to write in comments how much I envy. Sam I envy his przeszłemu that there was (is?) Because my Present I very much would like to see there yet ...
And right near the Tam Coc is a small city named Bich Dong . Ambitiously started with a dish to persuade some wietnamce to explore the cave. "Wery bjuuutiful." How I managed to stargować price from $ 5 and a half it agreed to do it: PI was worth it. In contrast to Tam Coc there was empty. The cave is huge and totally not illuminated. I got only a flashlight in his hand and got into the boat. Places so low that you had to lie down. Transit across the one side there is an 30-45minut. And the feeling is amazing ... None of the images that will not give up. The more that of course had to be done with flash, so we did not go painting titled "The Battle of blacks in the cave in the late night" (Alphonse Allais 1854-1905). In total darkness and silence. Peace of mind we have not experienced anywhere else. And in the black water in the light of torches reflected in the mirror as stalactites hanging low over his head. From time to time you could hear only the swipe of an oar, or dripping water ...
day I expire under the sign of caves, were it not that here you can take a really delightful walk to the top. Exactly the same under which there is mentioned a moment ago the cave. Note: initially be under the mountain, and after an hour at the top ... The trail passes through temples and jasknie. And then the climb to the summit need to be a bit of toil. Because the path ends and still mess up your legs to stand on one of the big boulders. The prize is widoczki:)
is of course aware of the fact that the last two pictures to the best does not include, but are done on these rocks were self-timer: P
As the sun was setting in the west (oh, almost a poet with me) and I'm on the bike did not feel too confident, so I decided to come back. I just came ...
DAY 2
Another point to visit a national park Cuc Phong . way to it from Ninh Binh trifle took me 2.5 hours. But this together with such pojechaniem few miles too far. Unfortunately, the road does not belong in Vietnam the most marked. And my map and was not rather an extremely detailed. I bought a ticket for a dollar and I decided that I would do the walk. I planned to return before 16 to see the Endangered Primates Rescue Center, but I'm stuck in the park for almost 6 hours. Along the way, snapping photos of butterflies. Amazing butterflies the size of my hand, and sometimes more. There were plenty of them here. And all the colors pleasing to the eye. As I sat for a moment on the ground to rest a throng round me and a backpack:) amazing phenomenon when you take a step, and the land rises to orange cloud of fluttering wings. Indeed, not only butterflies pstrykałam pictures
Increase the these pictures (just click on them.) Popodziwiajcie for a while the patterns on the wings. Especially my favorite, blue. I pozazdrośćcie a little bit, because I had it at their fingertips. Well, it was a crab bomb. Again, not big, but this time the yellow. And again, with sweet and huge eyes: P One ciekawemu (unless najciekawszemu) butterfly unfortunately I managed to snap a foty, because I just do not flown away. It was amazing. Larger than the palm of a huge (!) Hairy torso ... Ashamed to admit it, but made such an impression on me that the next night I dreamed. We found him at home, sitting on my hands and bite his finger. And then my dear little sister accidentally killed him. Misiek Sorry, I have no idea where in my dreams, such pogrzane: P
After about 8 km of free walking (I thought it would go faster, but every now and then stopped to listen to the birds, or stare at butterflies) I got to the most interesting Trip point for me, namely the prehistoric cave man. Trifle dated to 7500 years ago! But I do not know why nobody came up with it to lighten it. So I bought a flashlight for the entire 5000dongów (25centów U.S.) and made my way to conquer. Please Take into account that all the pictures that you will find below the cave, or in the album are bright, because I made with flash. The cave is really enormous (one of the largest of its kind in Vietnam) and quite dark. Leads to the top a million degrees: P
And the way you can meet such creatures, for example. This here is the size of my thumb and an awful lot of legs ...
There was already quite dark.
Or it seems to me, or this figure is ... But maybe that's just my exuberant imagination, that I attempt to draw something on here ....
Has anyone an idea what is it? A lot of places were littered with such things. Notably high above their heads on the ceiling. Up close it looks like rust ...
Along the way, I wondered what I could eat. No and I learned ...
And then, still in total darkness we had to climb the ladder. Some few yards at least. Looong are hesitating, and finally climbed. But it was not the easiest ladder in my life ...
And then I made a mistake. Big mistake. Under the provisions of that climb to climb, but in the darkness for any cholera would not fall after that rickety ladder, I decided to get out of the cave, here's the hole. Encouraged by the presence of papers on the earth got off safely.
And after a few steps, it turned out that the path ended. I no longer go it was like. I could only go down the thicket. In the Vietnamese jungle. It was not wise ... In a safe place walnęłam fotę demonstrative, but then hid the camera in your backpack and tried to survive. Once I even had to recall climbing skills, To get out of some 3.5 meters ... Better than Bear Grylls (this from the school to survive on the Discovery Channel.)
How I got into the whole track was dirty and had poobcierane hands ... But I loved her boundless love trapery ... I must admit that as I walked down back on the path, then I heartily enough walks. Anyway, it was getting late. And now I was ready to hire a driver from the driver, even started to haggle, but wished totally unrealistic amount of ... And with the help of my French came next sipping tea. Przesympatyczni guys around 40-50. They had hired a guide with a car. Thus I had the opportunity not only to return the 8km walk, but even still go up 3 km and 3 km down to see 1000-year-old tree. :)
After about another 2 hours we reached the main gate of the park. In a great mood I got on the bike and decided a little nadkładając way to go to HoaLu. This former capital of Vietnam, but it's not looks. No photos. There is, first, because very soon it got dark, and secondly because it was so divine that I did not want to even stop the engine. The next day I did the same route during the day, so you can imagine yourself in a moment:) The road was wide, maybe not perfectly equal, but with a relatively decent roads, and was bouncing around among the rocks, which grew from the ground like those in Danang. A light flickered in the distance, pagodas ... Cold air, wind in your hair, the smell of damp from rice paddies. Again, something I can not describe ... Something I will never forget. That I love Vietnam and to a Vietnamese want to return someday ...
Along the way, but I had to stop for a moment to refuel. By the way I bought the cookies, because after a whole day łażenia felt hungry. I was invited to dinner. By totally strangers. One girl spoke some English ... I was even invited back on Sunday, but then I was no longer there. Well, you know - lots of photos must be. Przesympatyczni, open people, delicious homemade jedzonko, the hum of conversation in Vietnamese family. Divine thing.
DAY 3
I had a choice to go either to the Fragrant Pagoda, or the Endangered Primates Rescue Center. I chose the latter. As it is right next to the park the way I went smoothly and pleasantly. The Centre currently detained a dozen species of monkeys. Most of them were "reflected" at the hands of illegal poachers, and slowly, step by step is in preparation for the release from prison. Over half of these species lives only in the forests of Vietnam. It is true that I expected something totally different. I thought that the monkeys simply to run a limited area. But unfortunately you can only admire them in cages. But they are impressive ... Have something so very human, it's hard to tear your eyes from their face and eyes.
decided for it to come back the same way as the previous day, namely the Hoa Lu. Only this time in the day. And is not disappointed. It was just beautiful. By the way a few times deviated from the path zajeżdżając to tiny villages where no one has seen foreigners for years probably ... And because of this road are such as foty.
Especially Fifth, for example, I like it. That the buffalo ... More or less saw it ...
BTW. On the way to center on a motorcycle ahead of foreigners. One had blond hair long, so it was easy to understand. Machnęliśmy wearing only his hands in greeting. And then we met at the main entrance to the park. And we arranged for a beer. Kate, unfortunately, she felt bad, but Ben had the opportunity to walk with a drink of beer to 3 am on a totally empty streets of Ninh Binh and talk about the future of our world: DA morning I woke up, my breakfast and I went to the bus to Hanoi. Where he again met those of Canadians: DW thus the first part of the road to Sapa I had one to talk ... But gasping in the next (and last longer) stretch.
