In the even cooler mountains in the village of Sapa.

Morning, 6 o'clock in Sapa. It's really cold. Around 10 degrees. I'm standing in the cold with my two jackets. The crowd gradually disperses. Only me and one other person are still standing there. No one picks me up. What now? No one there felt responsible either. So I called the hostel where I booked. After waking them up, they made a phone call and then it worked out.

You could leave your things in a hotel and there was breakfast. The weather was so-so. Foggy, but at least no rain.

Despite the season and the fog, this place is magical. At that time, I was very upset that I wasn't here in October, when it's harvest time and everything shines in light green. However, now looking at the pictures, it's still a beautiful place.

It was difficult to decide which of the 160 pictures to upload. Each one is more beautiful than the other.

Mui Ne, and above all a hint of fish sauce

After an exciting week in the Mekong Delta, a beach vacation was due again. To that end, I traveled to Mui Ne on October 14, 2026, about 200 km east of Ho Chi Minh City.

Can Tho in the Vietnamese border area to Cambodia does not attract many foreign tourists. This is unjust, as I have discovered from October 9 to 12, 2026.

Whoever wants to understand the Mekong Delta must go on the water. That is precisely what I did in October 2026.
