Very good sleep in the tent last night with no disturbance from the locals. Temperature is cooling and fresh with the mountain fog in the morning. No hurry as today is just a short distance of climbing to Sapa.Arriving at the outskirt of Cho Sapa (market)  about 10.30am local time ( One hour behind Malaysia). Was advised by the local to avoid staying in the town centre as the hotel price is easily double than at the Market. For 250k at the Viet Cuong Guesthouse (Ngh Nghi) is around Rm50 is still considered fairly expensive but the room is really big with 2 bouble beds and 1 single bed,just for me alone and it comes with WiFi for the 1st time since i started 29 days ago be able to access facebook and google again. Went for afternoon walk into the town centre,and it's full of Western tourists to escape the winter snow in Europe,Sapa is still very much alive since my last visit about 7-8 years ago.Tomorrow will be heading to Lai Chau萊州 in direction to Tien Bien Pho鄭邊府
