Hanoi or Sapa?
My husband and I are taking a 10 day tour through Vietnam with Gap Adventures. We end in Hanoi, spending 1 1/2 days in Hanoi. We then have two extra days on our own before flying out of Hanoi. Should we- spend two more days in Hanoi or go to Sapa for two days (taking an overnight train to Sapa)? I have read wonderful things about both places. I am wondering if the 1 1/2 days in Hanoi would not be enough. But I would love to see Sapa, but wonder if 2 days there are not enough. Any thoughts/advice would be helpful. Oh, we are going in early January. I know that Sapa will be chilly then. Thanks!!!

I spent a few days in Hanoi but it was mostly just killing time between Halong Bay and Sapa trips.
I spent 3N4D in Sapa which included an overnight trek to the valley below. There are day treks you can take so a couple of nights in Sapa would probably be enough.
