Da Lat
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 and replaced our shitty little foot pump with an even smaller hand pump - as reccommended by a friendly Easy rider, Mr. Thai. Also bought some better waterproofs and warm jackets. It's mad how the climate is so different here, only 300K's (ish) North of Saigon.
Da Lat could be a really nice place if, a) the weather was better, and b) it wasn't so fake. It's one of those towns where most things are heavily geared towords tourism, but it's all done in true Vietnamese fashion, ie. crapply! We went to the 'Valley of Love' yesterday... hmm. nice! Also, the 'Crazy House'... hmm. crazy!
Heading further North today, up to Lak Lake where we plan to camp once again. Then West, over to the Cambodian border.
