They played a lot of music (very old fashioned music) and sold apples, cookies, cakes and many drinks. Having enjoyed the apple festival we went for a walk outside the village, meaning the woods. I just saw the Arsenal match. It was very boring and the atmosphere in the stadium was weak. I think that it was mainly due to the cold and not due to the quality of the game. But it was worth it. We managed to get a few hours of bad sleep and arrived at the destination called Lao Cai, the capital of the province with the same name. It was only 370km from Hanoi, but the ride lasted nine hours.
