We wanted to see a few of the sites around the city today. A popular option is to hire a motorbike driver for the day who will take you around for a fee of around $20. Having seen what the tours offered, we decided over the two-three days we are staying in Dalat, we would be able to visit most of the sites by foot. So we set off walking outside of the main city centre. En-route we stopped for breakfast and coffee, Rachael managed to get locked in the toilet. Af...

Last night we went for tea at a seaside family street stall. It was great fun, had noodles each with a few beers then decided to choose our fish for mains out of the fish tank. The hand picked fish was dropped on the floor from a great high and was then placed on the BBQ with it's tail still flapping, the poor b*****! It was given a chilli and lemon grass seasoning a slapped on our table........ great stuff, what the trips all about. We wanted to get the early...

We got a very nice bus with leather seats this morning to Muine, it was alright except for an old Vietnamese man reclining his seat all the way, so Rachael had no room, Tom physically stopped the person in front of him putting theirs back too far. The weather is much cooler here and the sea very choppy, plans for a swim and possible windsurfing seem out of the window. We quickly had a walk around the resort and avoided the rain as much as we could, the strip i...

Our mission for today was to get Tom's new suit posted to the UK so we don't have to carry it the rest of the trip. We risked life and limb walking across the city to the main post office. En route we walked by the mini Notre dame built here (guessing) during the French rule. It's built with the original in mind but without the grandeur. The Lonely Planet guide had told us the post office was worth the visit just to appreciate architecture, you've got to wonde...

So there were three things on the agenda today, Market, Independence Palace, and the War Museum. After yesterdays failure at walking to the Market we're glad to say we made it in time for breakfast. We found a really nice little stall with a young girl who helped us as much she could. We went around the market trying to find 3 tailored shirts to go with Tom's suit. As you can imagine this wasn't easy and after about an hour of moving from stall to stall, look...
