Jan 27, Friday – Dalat day 3

We followed a Google walking path through many alleys (amazing navigation) locate a laundry and ate breakfast in a Vietnamese street eatery by pointing at the food of the man next to us. I ate some great rice noodles and gave the meat to Dirk. 

The Crazy House was our next adventure. Built by a imaginative renowned architect, Dr. Dang Vietnam Nga who wished to encourage more nature-like buildings, it became her unusual home and project. We were there a few hours and still didn’t see all the rooms or walk on all the stairs. Fun!

We had a delicious lunch across the street and then walked to Bao Dai Summer Palace built in the 1930s for the last king of Vietnam feudal court. By the 1950’s, with the French in power, it was the office and house of the last King. It was a interesting walk-through – the house is quite large but not grand.

Lots of walking today but most of the time away from the heaviest traffic. We cheated and took a taxi back to our hotel and started preparing for tomorrow’s trip to Maui Ne.
