19 sept Ba Ngoi to Phang rang 47 Km

Sorry I have not been posting for a few days as we were tied up by Mr tony Nguyen and his wife is dalat ,also I could not find any inter net cafe that can upload pics for you all..
19 Sept. Ba Ngoi to Phang Rang,
Started the day at 7 am very little traffic on this stretch of Highway 1 and we arrived at Phang Rang at 11 am we headed to the bus terminal to catch a bus to Dalat as the road to dalat is all uphill and its 110 km but they only have a local bus to Song Fa,which is at the bottom of dalat.
while waiting for the bus to dalat we had lunch , we got rip off by the rice shop lady who overcharged us,the cost of the lunch 2 plates of rice and pork chop 1 plate of cucumber salad 2 ice tea 100,000 dong the cost of the fare from song fa to Dalat with bikes 100,000 each the mini bus stop half way up to dalat to let some passengers out to vomit we got to Dalat at about 4 pm.
we were dropped off at a petrol station opposite dalat lake, Troung Vy, Tony's wife came on a motorbike to lead us to their House,Dalat is a very Hilly town hard to cycle around,Tony insisted that we all stay in his house which was quite a nice little house on the hill side overlooking mint leaves farm and other buildings .Troung Vy cooked us a home cooked dinner and her sister was also invited to join we also met Tony's grandson Tu, who was very interested in kung -fu, so Lou showed him a few moves and I had a little spar with him .That Night I slept ion the lounge while Lou slept in the room
