Vietnam Trekking

Bridges of Death and a Haunted Theme Park, good food and exercise. What else could you want?

Dalat is full of trekking, canyoning and mountain biking and we signed up for a full day trek with Groovy Gecko slightly up the road from the Peace Hotel where we were staying… the hotel is a favorite with backpackers apparently and hangout for “Easy Riders”. After the luxury of the smoking ban in the UK I find I can’t quite get my head around people still being allowed to smoke inside in some countries. Don’t they know it’s just soo uncool. It gets pretty smoky in the cafe so if you don’t like that, stay away.

Pretty much low season so not many people around and it ended up being the two of us and our guide. A few suspension bridges, this one below might have been the worst….

(at least we didn’t have to ride a motor bike over this one like we did in Cambodia)

a huge picnic and some local sights later…

we arrived at an abandoned (probably haunted) theme park. Nobody knows what happened here! Probably something to do with ghosts.

Complete with strangely abandoned cafe. Spooky.
