Set our alarms to head off early to Dalat, though somehow ended up watching Morning Glory, a feel good film starring Rachel McAdams with Harrison Ford stealing the show, and I really enjoyed it. Was feeling a bit better and were on the road by ten. It was another sunny day and the progress was good till about 100kms out of Dalat where the road disintegrated for 25kms, took us two hours and with an upset stomach wasn’t fun. I got my mud guard tightened as it came loose and stopped off for lunch and coffee before cracking on. I also got attacked by a group of red ants while having a piss in some shrubbery. We passed from Lak Lake which was pretty cool. Riding along a massive cloud came out of nowhere, and from being too hot we were soaked to the skin in proper pissed off rain. Had to dig our ponchos out and it almost flooded the roads in less then ten minutes before stopping as quickly as it started, then the sun came out. It seemed to take forever to do the final 40kms to dalat, though once navigated the crazy traffic and road lay out, found a hotel and chilled out. Went for a western fix for dinner which was nice, with a milkshake, then got a litre of milk (it’s a specialty here!) plus a cake and chilled out in the evening planning tomorrow’s activities!
