Life, not as we see it.

Asterix wiz here! When? Zen!

We had a lovely morning here in Da Lat before leaving for Nha Trang. We breakfasted late, at 08;30, Me on half a sardine & half a cup of coffee, Sue on bread & jam + OJ - it's a budget hotel.
Taxi to a Cable car, Cable car to a Bhuddist temple complex which was surrounded by the most beautiful gardens.
The 2 main temple buildings were the most serene and comforting places we have been for some time now. I could have sat there for hours, but we had to return to catch our near death chamber, nee Bus.
Great journey down to the coast, good scenery and the usual mixture of exceedingly good roads and absolute rubbish, with Kamikazes in both directions.
Bus dropped us at the train station where we wanted to buy sleeper tickets for Saturday night, up to Da nang. We got ticket all right - for HARD sleepers, so a new experience becons / looms.
Taxi tout at the station asked for 200,00 dong to our hotel, no more than 5 mins away. He immediately learned a new way of being told no thanks, much to Sue's annoyance as she doesn't like sweary words. Never the less, it worked, and instead we squeezed us and our growing rucksacks into an old Matiz, for 50,000 VND (2.3USD)
Hotel is fine, at 15 USD/ night, incl breakfast.
Off out now to find some sustenance at the seaside.
