alright im back from dalat. it was great to get out of town for a few days, breath some fresh air, and walk the streets without being harassed to buy sunglasses, lighters or massages. the ride out to dalat which is in the south central highlands, was a beautiful nine hour trip through jungle mountains and coffee fields. when i got into dalat in the afternoon i got a room at dreams hotel and took a soak in the hot tub. being that dalat is in the mountains it gets cool at night and when i went out to dinner i actually was able to wear a jacket. the next morning i woke up early and signed up for a mountain bike tour. the pamphlet about the trip made it look like a gentle ride through the hills and past some farms which would be ok but i had hoped for some real trail riding. less than an hour into the trip we where off the roads, in the mountains and i was gettin g my wish. tons of difficult climbing, and nice fast descents and beautiful vistas. this was not a tour for unskilled riders and i often had to wait at the top of climbs for the guides to push there bikes up. getting back into town after the ride i was grateful that i had chose to pay the extra money for a hotel with a hot tub and steam room cause i was sore.
