Mountain tribes in Vietnam (part 4)

From the holiday triangle river-beach-mountain, the mountain needed still to be done. From Muine only 160km and 5 hours of hardcore pothole road is small town called Dalat. This was the goal and from there to get into small villages in mountains.

Crazy house in Dalat.

It is actually a hotel, but people rarely stay there.

One of the waterfalls near Dalat. When driving towards the fall, we thought of going for a swim, but unfortunately the civilization had arrived before us, and the garbage had taken the pole position. Though, the waterfall itself was nice.

French man Hugo, we met in Dalat, on his journey around the World. He should now be already in Australia.

Lake Lak in mountains, around 6o'clock in the morning. Lak lake was the last stop before heading back to Saigon to catch the flight to Shanghai. The lake used to inhabit crocodiles, then the civilization arrived, and all crocodiles turned into purses.

... elephants are still there... for trips across the lake.

Lake lake area felt authentic, even though at the background there is a elephant transporting tourists, the village lived traditional life.

Small river and children. This is the place were children still are able to go swimming without lifeguards and safety nets...

On the road again.


Happy Easter! Next trip is the Easter trip in 2 days, this time having a look around places not too far from Shanghai. Plan is to make it to Fujian province, 1000km south from Shanghai.
