The Central Highlands

---

Dalat is in the central highlands of Vietnam, this is a densely forested mountainous region in the south west of the country.

Another slow but spectacular scenic bus journey brought us here from Mui Ne, we would not recommend the Hanh Cafe open bus company as they take forever to get around, loads of faffing and not much driving.

Dalat doesn't see half as many tourists as Saigon and for this it has a totally different atmosphere, much more local. We were only here two nights so we took a city tour which was a bit naff really but we got to see some of the local scenery such as lakes, waterfalls (for which the area is famous), and we took a cable car ride over the hills.

Not much else to add, just check out the pictures.

One of the areas many lakes, can't remember what it was called nor would I be able to spell it if I could.
