Da Lat

Arrived in dalat to see people wearing puffa jackets and hats! It wasn't that cold but the coldest we've had. It's 1500 metes above sea level. We found a hotel pretty quick as we were tired and hungover from night before! Needless to say the journey was 'difficult' and I think it was the bumpiest road we've ever been on!

We had a quick look around but nothing inspired us so when it started to rain we headed back to the room to watch a film. There are 3 channels of good films on all the time here!

We booked a trip around Da Lat as most of the sights are not accessible by foot. The trip took us to a couple of good waterfalls, the last kings palace (which looked nothing like a palace!) and a few other sights which I would've been good had it not rained so much!! To get to one waterfall you could get a tobaggan down, we went pretty fast, we kept catching up with slow coach locals!

It got really cold in the evening and we had to head out with 3 layers on! It's a pretty big change from the beach that's for sure! There are other trips here on bikes and cycles but the weather (rain and cold) and price put us off!

The bus journey to Saigon took us past some great scenary -including big cliff drops! In parts it looked like France as some of the buildings are French architecture and very green countryside.
