Coffee country

We travelled southward and further upward to Da Lat yesterday. It wasn't the best road -- windy and potholed. But it was pretty country with coffee and durian plantations everywhere. A major challenge was to find (a) toilets 🚻 and (b) toilets with a bowl -- suitable for the older Australian traveller.
Dalat has some nice French colonial architecture, including at the place where we are staying. It has a series of villas spread around some leafy grounds. People used to come to Dalat to escape the heat of Saigon. The tourist development button has been pushed.
This morning we went to a coffee plantation, took a ride in a train on the remaining 8km of track and had a bowl of pho for lunch.
There are plenty of coffee houses around. But they mainly seem to serve diluted tar, rather than your latte or skinny cap.Leggi altro
