22Sept Dalat - Phang Rang

Rain came early this morning,so deciding to catch a bus to Phang Rang..according to what tony had planned for us looks to be the best way as we don't want to cycle all the way down hill on the wet road to Phang Rang.we had Tu to guide us to the Dalat lake and from there we cycled 5 km out of dalat town towards the bus terminal,
We took a mini bus that stopped all the way to Phang Rang picking up more and more passengers until the bus was overloaded.tony met us at the Phang Rang bus terminus with 3 "farmers" daughters of which 1 was his "girlfriend"now we realised that tony is a Casanova,we were taken to a seafood restaurant which was in fact a failed fish farm project it has a man made lake and we sat under a Ni pa hut,Tony wanted to impress the girls and ordered a lot of seafood and beers the waitress brought a whole crate of beer thinking these overseas cyclists need to be hydrated, but then tony said we shall split the bill 3 ways
One of the "farmers" daughter surprise us by speaking some Malay!! she had worked in a factory in "SUNGAI BULOH" in Malaysia.after lunch tony took us to a nice little mini hotel by the Phang Rang Beach but the beach was disappointing it was smelly and full of rubbish that night there was again a blackout so we had no choice but to eat at a 4 star hotel that was near us,we saw many Korean students in the restaurant eating only a plate of fried rice each we ordered 2 dishes and rice but it took so long to arrive and I went to complained...I told the manager that for a 4 star hotel the service was far below standard...I am not sure if he understood he only smiled....
