Lots of walking uphill under the hot sun without explanation from the guide. My guide is nice and I want her to have some work as she is a H Mong minority but she did not speak well in Vietnamese or in English. We walked for 3 hours under the blazing sun and uphill and had no clear idea of what was going to happen and when. Instead of visiting 5 villages as advertised we just walked on the road. We cut short our trip at 3 hours then lunch then took a taxi back as we did not know what to expect and how much more to walk after that
