Bac Ha and back in a day

Yes Carol set the alarm for 6:30 as we were being picked up at 7.  NO the bus left town at 7 and so we got a call from reception at 6:45 and the manager even came to our room. A quick look out the window and the bus was waiting but no not for long. We came downstairs and there was a man who was guiding us to the pickup point. So off we walked exchanging phone numbers by pranking. We walked up to the parking lot outside the train station and it was kaos as the overnight train had arrived and along with it a flood of travellers.
Our bus came along and we got on. I was fully prepared this time I had the correct money in my fist, ready for the exchange. It was packed but there were two seats for us.
It was now just after 7 and we were finally on our way to Bac Ha the mountain region famed for all its different and very diverse hill tribes. The journey is about 2 hours. The bus stopped and picked up two more passengers. I overheard him speaking orrstralian. I offered him some of my snack food and everyone else in the bus.
