Crazy House--Dalat
We enjoyed the 7 hour bus ride from Saigon to Dalat with the comfortable Phuong Trang bus company. A bonus was the bus company includes a ride to your hotel as well as pick up from your hotel.
We enjoyed a day of bright sunshine as we wandered around the lake side town. We visited the crazy house and took a ride on the 7 kilometer stretch of train which ends up at a colorful pagoda. Miles of plastic (greenhouses) stretched over the horizon. This area has a similar climate to home (Victoria) and so it is able to grow fruit and vegetables which are not available in other places.

It took almost 2 hours to exit the populous city of Saigon. We then enjoyed views of small villages, rice fields and then the climb to the hill station of Dalat. Cool air and bright skies welcomed us from the balcony of our hotel. After several weeks of hot and sweaty weather we were pleased to breathe cool and clean mountain air.
