Dalat

We've headed away from the coast and up into the central highlands of Dalat, for a change of scenery and climate. Saw lots of wooden hut villages and waterfalls on the switchback roads up, and surreal sight of the day was a moped carrying a large clear plastic bag full of water, containing two huge live fish.
The good news is that the predicted typhoon coming from the Phillipines has blown itself out, the bad news is that it still had plenty of rain left in it. And although there is torrential rain here today (I had to wear a waterproof jacket and a poncho just to go and get our lunch), we've escaped the flooding that Hoi An and Na Trang have.
We're in a hotal with free internet access and Cartoon Network on TV, so the boys are happy (though slightly less happy when we suggested they catch up on some maths homework!). The forecast says we'll have a clear day tomorrow, before it rains again, so we think we'll head on to the beach and sand dunes of Mui Ne on Thusday.
