Destination Vietnam | Mai Chau day 2

After the breakfast made by the host family we headed out towards the village to see a bit of the local lifestyle. We couldn’t see much since we only stayed in the main road. Nonetheless, during that three hours trek we did get to see, local houses, daily routine of the folks, markets, women working in the rice fields easily recognizable with the famous Vietnamese conical hat Non La.

Amazing right! A little video bonus while I was trekking…

The trek ended at the same place where we had lunch the previous day. They served us our meal, and I must say I was a bit disappointed – it was very much the same food as the day before. I will realize later that all the homestay or daily tours provide the same type of dish including rice, of course.

Lunch done; we went for a bike tour. Nothing particular to see except for the daily routine of the inhabitants and that includes kids in schools, fruits markets, cows in the road, etc.

The bike tour lasted a little less than an hour. After that, we got to the minivan direction Hanoi. Traffic is crazy in Hanoi, so the bus tries to leave as soon as possible from Mai Chau. (around 2-3pm)

Later that night in Hanoi, I checked-in at local restaurant in Ma May street where you can go in the kitchen and choose what you want. I went for the following…

Yummy!

This was a summary of my 2days/1 night tour in Mai Chau with Ethnic Travel. Next is another 2days/1night tour with the same agency in Ninh Binh, located south of Hanoi.
