Dalat in the Mountains



We have found our way into wine and coffee country. Dalat has the most fertile growing conditions for everything, fruit, vegetables, coffee, grapes for wine, lush green grass. We had to try the local Dalat wine, although a tour of the local vinyards were not possible. $2.75 per bottle, or .75 per glass in the restaurants.

The coffee here is so strong, it actually has the density of surup. Two sips and you are wired for sound. So you will never guess what everyone drinks here? Weasel Shit Coffee. You guessed it the Weasels eat the coffee beans and.............. but it tastes very good.

Vancouver Steve and myself decided to try out Vietnam's No. 1 ranked golf course. "Dalat Palace", was in great shape but by no means competes with the best courses in North America.
We also had to check out the Crazy House, a local hotel designed by the Emperor's daughter.
