Lao Cai to Hanoi

 Half an hour early and rearing to board , food in the Tasmanian calico shopping bag.
 Ahead lay 11 hours at about 40 kmph of wonderful scenery and the rural landscape.
 Yes Soft sitter is at the back of the train second last carriage but number 1`.
 Boarding
 Our soft seats
 Hard seats are half the price.
 Frenzy of packing the luggage car all by hand.
 Passenges getting on.
 Our carriage is filling up with regular hostess service all day and at every station a selection of local sellars board the train and sell food and drinks.
 Small town on track.
 Old village house
 Our view out the window through the mesh to protect passengers from stone throwing mischievous children
New house of concrete and wood with old type fibro roof.
