Street scenes - Dalat

Colourful Cho Da Lat (Central market) is filled with some of the local ethnic minorities who come to sell their produce.




Will be back on 3 May so until then I have posted some photos from the streets of Dalat.

Street stalls Dalat

On the street below our hotel, lively commercial stalls were set up each morning.

The cool highland climate enables a wide range of fruit and vegetables to be grown.

Some stalls are so small they can fit on a large cane tray.

The street sellers of Dalat

In Dalat I sat on our small hotel terrace and photographed the street sellers. It is one of my favourite pass times when traveling.

As you can see these hard-working people are all women.

More of Hoi An

Hoi An is a trading port renowned for its timeworn merchant’s homes, grid of river front streets and Chinese assembly halls. It is purported to be the best preserved port of a bygone era in Southeast Asia prompting UNESCO in 1999 to inscribe the site on its World Heritage List.

You can see the Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese and French influences in the buildings.

I fly out to Brisbane tomorrow for a couple of weeks so this blog will return on February 7. Thanks for all your support - see you then!!

Dogs Galore

We saw lots of dogs in Vietnam - many were pets.
