Da Lat Travel Blogs

I planned and booked my trip to Da Lat through a tourist office, Sinh Café, in district 1, Pham Ngu Lao in Saigon.We left early in the mornings in an air conditioned bus. It was really cold... O_O. I was so excited. I so love to travel. I hope no ones gonna ever invent a teleporter for real! We'd …

Map and photos of my loop around Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos.

If anyone tells you that Vietnam is a nice place to go, don't believe them for a second. we've had nothing but trouble from the majority of Vietnamese people since we've come here. They have absolutely no qualms in lying, cheating, abusing each other and being generally rotten faced and grumpy…

An interesting journey up to Da Lat containing 2 more flat tires and a fallen tree which we had to off road our way around. It's cold here. Too cold. We're leaving today. We have upgraded the carbs on our little bonus (should get 45 Ks to the litre rather than 30), bought a nice leather tank bag an…

A hill tribe village 8 hour drive south of here.  Alot cooler there.  It's where the French troops would go for relief from the heat during there occupation.  The leader at the time loved it so much he nicknamed it "Le Petit Paris" and they have a telecommunications tower in the cent…

An amazing trip. I highly recommend people to travel to Vietnam. Great place to visit and the people are very generous and not very pushy. If you like coffee, they have their own, great food too.

This is an itinerary of our trip around the world and does not include any journal entries.

Haben meine Sachen auf seinem nagelneuen Motorrad verstaut und uns auf den Weg zur Seilbahn gemacht, zu d…

This will be mainly just photos of my travels around Asia earlier this year. For the commentary see www.travelblog.org/bloggers/ant-and-allee

Another day of scenery that I hope some of the photos do justice to, it was also really good to be able to chat to a Vietnamese person, I was learning all sorts of interesting tidbits.  For instance be careful of restaurants that say Thit Cho or Thit Cay outside, both basically indicate that t…

My Mother would be in paradise as vendors always approached selling 4 foot tall stacks of bootleg books.  It was through one of these dealers that I purchased On the Road by Jack Kerouac.  What an overrated book.  Supposedly for its time it was something, but the dude doesn’t do mu…

Photoblog about my current travels through Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.

I decided to visit Da Lat after finding a complimentary copy of the Vietnam Airlines in-flight magazine aboard the night train from Ha Noi to Hue.  I read an article about abseiling and rock climbing in the area and realised that it would make a great change from the sunny beaches i'd been vis…
