Vietnam: Dalat (pictures)

Not in Dalat, but early in the morning in Saigon, as we were leaving the city.

A delicious Bahn Mi, Vietnamese sandwich, colonial heritage from the French.

My uncle Hoa, and aunt Eliane.

Orchids in a Dalat garden.

Flower from the same garden.

View from the window of our "mini-hotel".

Fields near Dalat.

A lake with boats.

A 50,000 dong bill (worth about 4CAD or 25HKD). And it's got Ho Chi Minh's face on it (well, they all do).

A cabbage field...

Soup, at dinner.

Interior of a palace (built in the 20th century, mind you) that used to belong to the king of Vietnam, near Dalat.

Cakes.

All smiling, but I now weight more than my cousin (slightly more than 60kg)...

The Dalat city center by night.

Small streets in Dalat.

Dalat Palace, now a Sofitel. Most expensive hotel in Dalat (~85USD a night).

Countryside, on the road back to Saigon.

Place selling tea and coffee to rich tourists. The region (Bao Loc) produces the best coffee in Vietnam.

Waterfalls on our way back.
