Dream Hotel in Dalat

... , sorry if I've given you any cause for dreams of a disagreeable nature, especially when, upon arriving into Dalat, we encountered nothing but Nice Dreams - Hotel, that is, where we dumped our belongings into a sizeable basement room that was a little too ...

... right out of the bus, and ended up in a relatively good place at $12 a night. The place is obnoxiously named My Dream Hotel, and apart from the noise it's OK. After staying at all these places in the past weeks, our main test of hotel ...

... we put our bags down in our room and set off to find somewhere for lunch, settling for a restaurant near the central square. Dalat is known for its vegetables and produce and fresh foods, which was made clear after visiting the market. At lunch they gave ...

... of the word!  The journey there was quite something too.  8 hours after leaving Nha Trang the bus finally trundled into Dalat, only 3 hours later than scheduled, but considering the state of the roads, it was amazing we made it at all.  ...

... een bezoek aan de plaatselijke markt en een foto van een aarbeiverkoopster, heb ik een restaurant opgezocht waar ik heerlijk heb gegeten. Dalat is interessant maar ik had gedurende de dag de meeste zaken gezien en dus besloot ik de volgende dag met Ho ...

... very above board, not only showing us a full testimonial book, complete with photos, but receipts too. We then checked into our hotel the "Dream II" and discovered that the room was amazing, even with a "Jacuzzi" shower, and easily the best we'd had in ...

... Xuan Huong, the heart of Dalat, with stops at the local history museum (complete with tour in English) and the famous Dalat flower gardens (underwhelming). Then we wandered around the market in search of lunch and headed back to the hotel when it ...

... along the foreshore, also peasant's shacks with pigs, chooks, ducks and oodles of mongrel dogs... this place is definitely a renovator's dream... I've left the above line blank so you can read between the lines. Mui Ne is the fish sauce capital of the ...

... . Even though it costs 16,000D to walk around it is well worth a look. Apparently she had built another similar building in Dalat, but the locals protested it and it was torn down, they thought it was out of character and ugly. This place was close to the ...

... . Nha trang really took it out of us, so we were wrecked! Jo and I watched a few Wimbledon highlights before bed :)  Breakfast in dream hotel the next day was pretty amazing, it was a huge spread on the kitchen table for us. Yum. After that we took a ...

... develop severe mental problems, and any more jack johnson and ill, ill.... i just dont know. We're checked into the dream hotel... the Israeli's, Beth and I staged a coup against our tourbuis operators trying to take us to their hotel, and made our ...

Getting off the bus on arrival, we immediately felt the temprature difference. Although it was mid-afternoon we could comfortably explore without breaking into a sweat. It is nice to be in the mountains and not need air conditioning! In the ...

... will cross again. They organised a tour for the following day to actually get out of the city and see the true highlands, something that seems a little misleading about Dalat, or how it's described in the Lonely Planet.  Next stop, Mui ...

... that looked marginally like a trunk but that was pushing it a bit! We stopped at the Crazy House which i basically a weird Gaudi-esque hotel built in the 90's; although it is quirky, it is an odd place and pretty pointless! The Happy Buddha was a freaky ...

... beach at that time, all ages, exercising and jogging and swimming, dancing, chatting, the lot! Spent 7/8 hours on a bus to Dalat, getting right into 'Trainspotting' by Irvine Welsh, my 22nd book since January. In between reading I was trying to nurse a ...

... ;to go to bus station. However, the bus station tell us the journey is 7-8 hours ($5 each, not $10 which is what our hotel was offering to fleece us for) so we'll not arrive til really late!! Pants. And to make matters worse, the next ...

... it was really exciting thundering along the windy roads with a huge expanse ahead and beneath us. We spent our first day exploring Dalat, we went on a 4 hour ramble and we found a lake, a botanical garden and a really huge market before the sun went ...

... road was so bumpy and in the 4 hour journey I had fallen asleep and bashed my head on the window about 10 times!! Arrived and found a hotel for us all to stay - me and Meghan shared with Ian so he didnt have to get extra room. We all went for lunch and ...

... on a bit, but cold rain in the low 60's on a motorbike spells h-y-p-o-t-h-e-r-m-i-a. I got lost for a bit in Dalat too, but finally made it back to the "Peace Hotel" and returned the bike. I drank down another glass of tea and slept for an hour. At 6:30am ...

... a real "close to death experience" as the wine was 65%, visiting a silk factory and the famous "Crazy house" (an architectual dream or nightmare consisting of a house that looks like a mix of Disney and Gaudi). We were so hooked by the motorbike ...
