Blue Moon Hotel And Spa Dalat

... this hilarious! Eventually the bar shut and we found ourselves in a cafe next to our hotel drinking warm Tiger beer and whispering to each other in the dark as the owner had his whole family asleep upstairs.<br><br>The following day we woke up - feeling pretty groggy - to meet up with our Easy Riders at half 8, bit of an early start considering the night we had had. Our drivers names were Hien ("The Founder"), Hiep ("The Smoker") and Sang (A.K.A Buffalo). I saddled up with ...

... actually rules, not the husband. Pierre is still trying to figure out how many buffalos i would've paid for him.<br><br>This village elder was a riot and kept singing all these French songs to us and it was so bad we didn't recognise any of them. Then he switched to Quebec "chansonnettes" that he learned from Le Pere Vaillancourt, who has moved back to Quebec City and may still be there if he hasn't yet died from this guy's ear-breaking yodling.<br><br>At ...

... Wille har akt svanbat och blivit utskrattade. Helt klart en bra upplevelse. Kollar in ett miniatyrefieltorn, samt gatt i smala grander och besokt en jattehaftig marknad, med huuuur mycket godis, klader och skor som helst. Upptackt ett nytt valdigt gott godis gjort pa jordgubbar, detta skall tas med hem!<br><br>Imorgon ska vi ut och kolla in vattenfall, uppdaterar hur det var inom nagra dagar.<br><br>

... Anfield. There may be trouble ahead...but while the gunners are scoring so freely...lets face the Kop end and dance!!! Im loving Asia for catching up with the footie before running the gauntlet at home!! So got another 7 hour bus up to Dalat yesterday which is in the central Highlands. Its nice and cool up here in comparison with everywhere else we have been and Claire even had jeans on today!! Staying in a lovely friendly guesthouse called Dreams and today went ...

... other people sped past in their lightweight boats. Mei wasn't that keen in the first place so I was cursed all the way around the lake for about an hour. It was quite fun but very difficult, lets just say our legs had a firm workout. Had some really tasty food, a combination of French and Vietnamese. Overall a really nice day and fun to sit on the back of a motorbike and be driven around to some amazing views.<br><br><br>

Dalat is a village in a mountainous region that is a lot cooler than Ho Chi Minh City! It was so nice to have some respite from the heat.<br><br>Our first day in Dalat Mark went and played golf at the country club. He thinks it is a nice golf course, but nothing in comparison to Koh Samui. Still hitting the ball quite well, even though the clubs he hired were ******. As he was ...

... tourists preferred the "Alpine Coaster," a toboggan-like ride that soars down on rails to the falls. Yes, a ride. Nearly blew my mind. Tourists lined up and waited to board a mini vehicle that was a hybrid of Disneyland's Autopia's cars and the Matterhorn's bob sled. Had to laugh as I passed under the track and noticed that the cars were stuck and people were getting out (unassisted) to walk the remainder of the raised track. They didn't ...

... for most of the day. That evening I went for a drink with my dorm-mates Oz Julian and French-Canadian Kim. We went next door for a beer and after paying an extortionate 1pound per beer, decided to head back to the guest house and drink there instead - for a more reasonable 40p! We were joined on the balcony by 3 Californian guys who I stayed up drinking with til about 4am... they were the coolest Americans I've met on my trip (you don't see many of them!) - they'd ...

... of the war. <br><br>It was absolutely blown to bits, and serves as a very vivid example of the destruction to which Vietnam was exposed back in the 70s. You can walk around the ruins of the house, and if you look up you can see through the ceiling due to all the ...

... br>There was absolutely NO WAY we could have sat in those seats with our legs totally squashed for 18 minutes, let alone 18 hours... <br><br>The staff were so rude that we actually decided to get off the bus, take off all our luggage and re-book for the next day, or scream and shout until we got a refund, but at the very last minute they grunted an "ok" and let us sit on the back row. <br><br>The only problem with ...
