Tay Backpacker Hostel, Da lat, Day 1

So it's time to leave Nha Trang, and I would say we are definitely ready to go. It's been nice, but five days is enough. We get onto a bus, which is a lot better then previous ones we have been on, and set off inland.
The ride is really great, driving up mountain roads. As we look out of the window we soon realise we are in the clouds, and it's a really eerie but great view. The bus takes about four hours and does the usual blind corner overtakes, but it's not the worse.
Then we get to Da Lat. And it's cold. Like, I expected it to be slightly cooler, but as we arrive at the hostel we both put hoodies on. It is such a relief to finally be out of the heat and somewhere comfortable.
It's late afternoon when we get here so we settle onto the hostel and sit down for dinner that is cooked for us. Seven of us in total enjoy the hot pot that is cooked for us. After that it is beer pong competition time, which Amy wins with Leo, an Israeli. She wins a pretty cool vest, and lots of bragging rights as she beat my team in the final.
Travelling takes it out of us though, so we are in bed pretty early, ready to explore Da Lat tomorrow.Read more
