Cao Bang: The Road, the Ride, the Rest

This is Cao Bang from the seat of a mountain bike (or mostly I guess standing next to a mountain bike, since being a not terribly serious cyclist, I usually get off the bike to take pictures.)

Cao Bang: The Scene

Last weekend I went to Cao Bang Province, a mountainous out-of-the-way place along Vietnam's northern border with China. As far as I know, Cao Bang is mostly known because of a big waterfall which straddles the border with China, Ban Gioc Falls. It is sort of the end of dry season and the water was pretty low, it is not exactly the Niagara River running through there, but it was nice to see anyway. Our homestays were fun and the scenery was amazing. The trip was mostly about bicycling, but the photos in this post are meant to be simply about Cao Bang in spring.
