Da Lat (15.07.09)

This is an interesting town. It is located at about 1500 meters altitude. A lot of people come here to escape the heat. I only spent 4 days here, but the weather was rather bad. It rained every single day, for hours, and at times was raining hard. Otherwise, it could be nice. The city is busy and looks like a mountain resort (without snow). In the evening there are many neon lights.
I rented a motorbike and went to see Pongour waterfalls, about 50 km away. It was well worth it, as the waterfall is beautifull. On my way back it started raining. Not so much fun riding the bike, but I made it.

Nha Trang (11.07.09)

I spent few days in this city, mainly at the beach. It is nice, but not as good as beaches from Thailand or Malaysia. The water is not that clear or warm. A new experience that I had was parasailing. It is somehow intersting and fun. I had to try it for myself. It is not as intense as skydiving or exhilirating fun as paragliding. The night life is pretty intersting in this city, there are bars and cafe everywhere and there are parties on the beach.

No, I do not have a child. This is how is called the site of Cham empire ruins. It had the power few hundreds years ago. The relics are interesting. It a rather unique architecture. I have entered all the ruins. They look so big on outside and so small inside. The location of the site, in the mountains, make the place more mysterious. It is 40 km from Hoi An. I rented a motorbike to get there and back. I almost forgot the joy of riding in the countryside.

Hoi An (05.07.09)

This city is on the UNESCO list, along Hue, Lijiang and Dali, but from all I definetely like it the most. It is small. There are 3 main streets running parallel with the river. Yes, they looks like shopping alleys, but still it is interesting. There is a covered japanese bridge and few old trade houses beautiful maintained. The river along the city is actually picturesque a coupe of kilometers downstream. It has a very relaxing atmosphere.

Hue (04.02.09)

Hue is an old town I visited on my way down south. There is an old city surrounded by a wall (named the Citadel). There I visited the Imperial Pallace. They are trying to restore it but still it is in bad shape. I wasn't very impressed. There is also a river running through the city and the riverside is pretty nice. Plenty of French buildings around this area.
