The first stop today was Cam Ly Falls. Where there are people dressed up as cowboys and horses to get your photo taken on. There was even a 'zebra'. I finally found somewhere to take a photo of the waterfall.

Then onto Hong Nga Crazy House. This place is weird, with a kangaroo with glowing eyes. Each bedroom is themed and I got lost moving around. Quite unusual place for anywhere, let alone Vietnam. The architect was the daughter of the second president of Vietnam (the one after Ho Chi Minh). That explains the memorial room.

Then a quick look at Xuan Huong Lake followed by Cremaillere. Only to find the cog railway train left at 2pm. So off to the cable car first, which had good views over Dalat. But if you've seen one pine tree you've seen them all. There was not much to do at the top, so I back down went quickly.

Then back to Cremaillere , the cog railway took me to Trai Met where the Lih Phouc Pagoda is. Then back home to the hotel as it's was starting to rain.
