Hiking in Dalat

Got into Dalat (central highlands of Vietnam) yesterday and spent the day wandering around the city. Today we went on a 6.5 hour hike through the jungle. It was a tough, hilly, muddy hike. Ranee discovered that it was also leach infested. The hike started at the "Chicken Village" with its giant statue but no actual chickens (bird flu), and took us through some varied and scenic terrain; vegetable fields, light woods, clearings, head high grass fields and the jungle, finishing up by a lovely lake. It was pretty country but we are so beat this evening. Back to Saigon tomorrow
