To go to Sapa to Lo Cai you will have to take a private car, your own motorbike (so jealous of the group of guys we saw on a motorbike trip across the north), or take a local van.
On our van ride our driver decided that he would pack about 15 people into a van that was made to seat 8. Just when you thought we were going we would pick up another, then another, then another. It seemed like it was never going to end! He kept saying that each row could fit 5 Vietnamese even though they clearly were made for 3. What he had failed to realize was that he was carting a bunch of westerners who tend to be just a bit bigger than your average Vietnamese. Five of us don’t really fit on a seat made for 3.
At one point I was sure there was going to be a throw down. My favorite was the women who kept yelling, “I am going to call Hanoi and you’re going to lose your job”, lets think about this....Really? I am don't think she realized where she was.
