13 to 16 March 2013 – I didn’t plan to visit Đà Lạt city. I was happy in Nha Trang beach city for a week, but then I lost my money at a market because of my carelessness.

Bathroom at my second guesthouse

I used two guesthouses during my stay in the city. The locals at the second guesthouse use gas for boiling water. When tourists want to take bath, they turn it on. I could smell gas. (Nhà nghỉ sử dụng bình ga để đun nước nóng cho khách tắm. Khi tắm chỉ cần vặn vòi, nhưng có mùi ga).

Sorry about bad luck
I was sorry to hear about the bad luch with your money Hong Ha. Something like that can really affect a holiday. I have been enjoying your wonderful blog, even when I have been to a place that you write about, it brings back so many memories. Last time I was in Da Lat the lake was empty becuase they were making it bigger. It was so strange not to have that central point, but it did make me go out and see more of the countryside. Thanks for your great blogs.
