Dalat Day Trip - Part 6


Part 6: The Eiffel Tower in Dalat! Can you believe this country was colonized / war by Chinese for a hundred years...then by French and then they were at war with the Yanks...I mean, shame! However, they have one of the most wonderful countries still, even though there is still evidence of colonization!

Going up to the cable car...to see the city from one of the highest points in Dalat.

The wall - everything is just done so nicely!

View of the city...there is the Eiffel Tower in the background!

The City...that mountain in the background is called Lady Mountain...why? Because it looks like 2 boobs!

The other side...just dense forest! 

Pretty superb...

Gorgeous landscape...

The cable car station.

Do you see that thing going up into the sky on the LHS? Well that is a ladder...poor bugger that has to climb that to sort out problems!

Me on the top! 

The wall again!

The old train station...Similar to Normandy in France.

The Inside. These trains don't really run anymore. Only little tourist trip by choo-choo to a local village.

The tourist train!

Cute...wooden benches inside! 

The steam train...so cute...almost like the Knysna choo-choo!

Very pretty!

The whole building...

Close up! Last photo...day over....home time...tea time...rest time...skype time...supper time....sleep time!
