Golf 3 Hotel Dalat

... as we passed forests along the way. <br><br>We arrived in Da Lat and immediately I was disappointed as it was a big city set around a lake. I met an Austrian policeman and we had some interesting chats as he had served in Bosnia and been seconded to some other police forces. However I picked up a cold and ecided to stay in the hotel and did not go on any tours. <br><br>In order to get to Ha noi I could either take the bus or fly. I chose the ...

... felt like I was imposing. They live in basic wooden huts, a whole family together, with no running water or electricity. They have their own dialect and use prayer instead of taking their children to hospital. Travelling is said to be a leveller, and all I could think as we continued with our trek was the 'more, bigger, better' mentality that seems so rife at home. Worlds apart..<br><br>It was a hard trek, but lots of fun, Ro was a great and ...

Valdigt fattigt, men anda battre nu an vad det var nar staten agde all mark.<br><br>Efter en stund till pa hojjen far vi ga av och rora pa bena lite och bestige ett litet berg med jattefin utsikt.<br><br>Det blir aven stop vid en kaffeodling, som det forovrigt kryllar av i Dalat, dar lar vi oss lite om olika kaffesorter. Arabica, mocca osv.<br><br>Efter ha besokt ...

... Flower Gardens - this was actually really nice except for the sorry looking horses!<br>5. Bao Dai's Summer Palace - this was really interesting and well maintained<br>6. Lake of Sighs - the weather was really nice by this point so we had a lovely wander round the lake and the quaint little shops on the site<br><br>We only had a couple of days in Dalat which was a shame as we really liked it there but it was quite touristy and we kinda did everything we wanted to in those two days! <br><br>

i stunned this town with my luminous green poncho that i wore 24/7 as it rained 24/7! as this town is up in the mountains it's obviously a little cooler and more likely to rain than the lovely sea side town of mui ne! we were both freezing and had very little patience when it came to trying to get around but we did our best to do something over the two days that we stayed here! <br>we decided to take the cable car that travels 2.7 km across forest and ...

... Did a walking tour around it and then got bikes and cycled out to the beach for a dip. Next morning we got a bus to Hue which is the old imperial capital of Vietnam and we treated ourselves to a nice place with a pool (Still only 15 euro including massive buffet breakfast for the two of us. I love Asia!!). Had a walk around the imperial palcae today and since it is national day in Vietnam the place was packed and boy o boy did we get the stares! A couple of ...

... back to our hotel. Unfortunately, Da Lat is a) comprised of several twisting roads that turn into one another and are utterly confusing and b) has significantly less English speakers. After walking several minutes down the wrong road a few times (I was letting Tom navigate if you really want to know....haha), we decided to eat dinner at a food stall. Upon questioning the waitress about the substance of a soya-chicken bowl of pho, she promptly said "two?" and walked off ...

... the sky and seem to<br>have no purpose. I loved just walking around seeing how creative each<br>new spot was.. I wanted to support her so I also bought a cool necklace<br>she made...<br><br>Efile Tower- I have no idea why, but there is a small replica of the Eifle Tower towering over the post office right when you enter town. <br><br>Cremaillere Railway Station- The<br>train station is one of the oldest stations in Viet Nam and was closed<br>down from 1928 to ...

... ride! Oh! Speaking of going for a ride...As I wait, I am entertained and disgusted at the same time as I watch one of the obnoxious family's teeny-bopper sons hop on to the baggage carousel, firmly plant his two feet on the conveyor belt and sail along as if on a surf board. Parents? Eh, they're too busy yelling at each other from one end of the building to the other... <br><br>I quickly snag my bag and hop in a taxi ...
