Mountains to Dalat

April 5, 2018

Most of the ride was towards the East along the DT725. It started nice and quiet. But it's condition got worse and the traffic increased.

In Dalat, I did some sightseeing. Then I went to the location that booking.com said my hotel was at. I didn't see it immediately, but found it a few hundred metres further. Except reception said they didn't have a booking and there was another hotel with the same name just a few hundred metres away. WikiTravel says that there are many copycat businesses in Dalat.

Yesterday I broke another spoke. So I'm again looking for bicycle shop / mechanic.

There was a monkey in a cage at my hotel

The DT725 started out nice and quiet. Looks like the farmers plant trees as support for a creeper

A spring pushed sediment into the gutter of the DT725. So the water flowed over the river.

I rode this rollercoaster at the Datanla tourist area.

The cable car at Datanla goes down a narrow gorge.

The desk of the king at Bao Dai Summer Palace. See the old South African flag.
