It was a 15-minute walk from our hotel to the market. By the time we went there, most of the market activities had been done. I had to shoot in rainy and foggy weather and my photos were mainly bluish.

I had to do a fair bit of retouching to restore some of the original colours.

All in all, our trip to Sapa was disappointing because of the weather. Fortunately we discovered a top-notch hotpot restaurant at Sapa Boutique Hotel. The quality of food, service and ambience were of international standard. Dinner for two including drinks, coffee and complementary dessert cost only US$17.
