mountain view hotel

view down the slope from the hotel

taking turns to capture the beautiful background...haha...

the mini-van dropped us at our mountain view hotel...was way too early to check in yet as the check-in time is at 9am...so we decided to have breakfast first at the big balcony of the hotel...the name of the hotel really lived up to its name and as it suggested...mountain-view...the view of the mountains at the back of the hotel was just mesmerising...we quickly took turn to take photo with wonderful backdrop...the clouds were really floating very low and we can feel some of them just around us...and it was really cold!!! maybe cos i cannot stand cold haha...while we slowly enjoyed our warm breakfast, one young friendly vietnamese guy came up to us and introduced that he is one of the tour guides from the hotel...his name was "ling"...and so he suggested a few daily tours that we could take...in the end, we took up one of the tour (US$17 per person) where we get to visit the silver waterfall and some minority villages on bikes...the tour will prove soon to be really worth every cents...it took pretty long for the hotel to prepare our room and it was already way past 9am...we have been waiting at the lobby and was kinda abit frustrated...it was only till around 10am that the they finally gave us the room...time to shower!!! we have not really cleaned ourselves since yesterday tour and was feeling really sticky all over...haha...
