When we took the bus from airport to town, Gary met the manager of a local resort and got talked into going to the resort to "vist him and his wife". We walked a very long distance to this resort and on the way we went to a tourist attraction called The Crazy House. A Vietnamese architect named Hang Nga has been building this since 1990 to get people to connect to nature. To our disappointment, we just today discovered that we could have actually stayed here in this very room for about $30/ night.
So we arrived at this resort and it is this run down old place and a guide wanted to show us the VIP room and so forth. Gary's new friend wasn't even on the property! We politely visited one room then told them we had to leave. Not easy to extract ourselves! We then took a long walk back to the lake from yesterday and celebrated our escape with some Dalat wine followed by a swan boat ride on the windy lake. PS Asian swan boat pedals are designed for very short people.
Now we are getting ready to go for dinner and listening to a karaoke bar with quite the sound system that is apparently just behind us,
Tomorrow we join a tour of out of town places, and then fly to Hoi An at 6:30 PM.
That's what I'm going to build where the tree was in the backyard.
