Dalat Trip

Just got back from a long weekend in Dalat - we were keen to get straight back on the plane to Dalat once we were back in the heat and chaos of Saigon!

There were 11 of us in total, including Catriona. We had Tom, Thu, Bill and his cousin Vy. Also up with us were Diem, Sam, Alan and Ngoc.

We stayed at a fantastic old French-era villa at 28 Tran Hung Dao, a steal at less than $14 per night per room.

On Saturday we all went on a short trek through the hills. Catriona came along as well, fast asleep in the baby carrier. I think she preferred sleeping against my over-sized stomach than CC's... The trek brought us to a lake, where we took a boat ride to one of the islands and Tom & Sam took the kids out kayaking.

Sunday was golf day - there really is nowhere else like Dalat for playing golf in Vietnam - beautiful course, quaint old clubhouse, perfect weather and friendly staff all add up to a great day out playing golf.

As always, CC & I vowed at the end of the trip to get up to Dalat more often (or even live there!).

My plan is to put together some photos and video of the weekend and I'll be posting that up on Sunday hopefully.
