Jizni Vietnam

---

Po Phnom Penhu jsme se presunuli do nasi posledni Kambodzske zastavky, kterou je primorske mestecko Sihanoukville. Zde jsme rekreovali na plazi a po dvou dnech jsme se presunuli do Saigonu. Bohuzel jsme znovu museli jet pres Phnom Penh, takze cesta zabrala asi 14 hodin. V Saigonu jsme se nezdrzeli a rovnou vyrazili na jih na deltu Mekongu.

Na delte jsme nocovali u mistnich vesnicanu, kteri bydli na ostrove u mestecka Vinh Long. Druhy den rano jsme pak vyrazili na projizdku lodi po jednom z ramen Mekongu, abychom videli plovouci trh, dilnu na vyrobu ryzovych cukratek a ryzoveho papiru. Odpoledne jsme se pak vratili do Saigonu, kde jsme se tentokrat zdrzeli pres noc. V teto mnohymi opevovane perle vychodu jsme nechteli zustavat dele kvuli jeji prelidnenosti a prisernemu dopravnimu chaosu zpusobeneho skutry {ve Vietnamu je 8x vice motorek nez clenu komunisticke strany}.

Druhy den rano zapocala nase cesta na sever. Autobusem jsme se dostali na centralni vysocinu do mesta Dalat. Tomuto mestu se take rika mesto vecneho jara. Kdyz jsme ovsem prijeli, vypadalo to tu spise na vecny podzim, protoze byla zatazena obloha, huste prselo a bylo docela chladno. Kvuli svoji nadmorske vysce je zde mnohem chladneji nez ve zbytku Vietnamu, takze je tu snesitelneji. Dalat je take znamy tim, ze se zde pestuji jahody, kava, caj, kvetiny, vino,..

Dnes jsme se byli podivat na zdejsi botanickou zahradu a tzv. Crazy house. Crazy house je rozmar mistni architekty, ktera je schodou okolnosti dcerou prave ruky strycka Ho {Ho Ci Minha}. Je to neco podobneho jako Gaudiho vytvory, ale s primesi asijskeho nadseni pro kyc. Po vsech presunech poslednich dni jsme si dnes jen uzivali mesta a jeho chladnejsiho klimatu.





When we left Phom Penh we made it to our last Cambidian stop, which was sea resort Sihanoukville. After two days of lounging time had come to say goodbye to Cambodia and we took a bus to Saigon. When we arrived to Saigon we immediately continued to Mekong delta.

We stayed with local family on an island nearby a town called Vinh Long. Next day we went to explore one of Mekong's side channels on boat trip. We saw a floating market, rice candy and rice paper manufacture. In the afternoon we returned to Saigon and spent a night there. We didn't stay there very long because it's so overpopulated and there is absolute traffic pandemonium caused by motorbikes {in Vietnam there is eight times more motorbikes than members of communist party}.

Our journey to the North has begun when we left Saigon and came to Dalat. This town is also called City of eternal spring, nevertheless, when we came it looked more like eternal autumn. It was pouring with rain, the sky was dark and it was also quite cold. Dalat lies in Central Highlands, therefore the climate is much cooler {and bearable} than in the rest of Vietnam. It's also famous for growing of strawberries, coffee, tea, flowers, wine,...

On our first day here we went to see a botanical garden and so called Crazy House. Crazy House is a whim of one local architect who happened to be a daughter of a right hand of uncle Ho {Ho Ci Minh}. It resemles some Gaudi's pieces blended with asian taste for kitsch. After all those days of traveling we just enjoyed the town and its cooler climate.
