Dalat, Vietnam

We enjoyed our 3 days in Saigon: visited the Reunification Palace, markets and took a day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels. We caught a bus (7 hours) into the Central Highlands region (heading northwards through Vietnam) to Dalat, Vietnam. We hadn't even planned on stopping here but had heard from people that it was very nice. They were right...such a change from hot, humid, crowded Saigon to cool, dry mountainous with a small-town-feel Dalat. We are staying in the most lovely guesthouse-an amazing breakfast, free bike rentals, such friendly family who runs it. Today, we rented a driver/tour guide and explored some waterfalls, pagodas, silkworm factory, coffee plantation. Tomorrow we are going canyoning ($23/person)...I did this in Switzerland with Melissa and Cindy years ago and have been telling Blaine he has to do it but it is usually very expensive ($300 in NZ). So here's our chance! We still haven't found fast computers/internet to load up more photos but be patient with us! We have booked our tickets home to L.A. and will arrive on April 3rd...so we will soon buy our plane tickets to Mississippi probably on the 5th or 6th! We wanted to give everyone ample time to start planning our welcome home parties!!! (plural: parties)
