Dalat

Dalat is known as the Paris of voetnam and honeymooners flock there. Built nearly 2km up in the mountains it was a perfect place to escape the heat of the beach. we got there in the afternoon and had a little explore up and down the towns hilly roads that make it feel like somewhere in the Alps.  In the morning we got our motorbike and set off a long motorbike ride to elephant falls, which was long. There were a few falls amd we chose the least touristy one but it was worth it. After the usual doubts whether we were going the right way and a few just about helpful encounters with the locals we found it. There was nobody there at all so we parked our bikes and climbed down the rocky trail. The waterfall was massive but the best bit was that uou coild get behind it, which was so loud and we got soaked, and get to the bottom where we saw more dragonflys than you can imagine.  After an awesome ride winding back up the mountain we went to see 'the crazy house'.
 Which is literally a crazy hotel place thats still being made with stairs over the roofs, caves in hallways a giraffe you can climb in and themed rooms.
