Sappa: Day 4

Me and the girls. Sue was my favourite to the right of me.


Barber in the street... I considered getting a trim.

Sappa market.


I didn't know Tiffany was taking a photo. She was trying to set the timer. I'm a geek!



It was an uneventuful day and that was much needed. I woke up around 5:00am by an intense storm. I love storms! I listened for awhile and wondered if it would still be pouring when we had to ride in just a few short hours. That could make things interesting…

Tiff and I got up at 7:00am and the rain have thankfully tappered to a drizzle. We had an absolute beautiful, enjoyble and short ride to Sappa. The Tam Trom Pass was one of the most beautiful sections of our trip. We took our time, stopped, took photos and sang the whole way there.

We arrived in Sappa around 11:30. We explored the town and really enjoyed being off the bike for a day!

We couldn’t really go far without the cutest little girls tressed in traditional hill tribe clothing trying to sell us something. They were so sweet and smart and remembered our names. I couldn’t help but buy some bangles from them, which, by the way, turned my skin green.

Tonight Tiff and I went to a local pub and played darts before watching a movie in our guesthouse. The youngest girl we saw today (about 4 I think) came into our guesthouse lobby and we cuddled with her and I bought some bracelets from her. She was so cold and dirty. Poor little thing! Her mom finally came for her around 10:00pm. Late night for this little pumpkin!
