Heading up and up into the mountains of northern Vietnam, and there’s a heavy low cloud hanging in the air, and it’s very wet.

This does not bode well for the next few days when I’m supposed to be touring the Ha Giang loop, a scenic swoop through the mountains and up to the border with China.

Except it seems like that scenery is going to be shrouded in mist and drizzle. Saturday to Tuesday are the scheduled days and, well, see what the ever-optimistic iOS Weather app says.
