Lil journey on a motobike in Dalat

Loved the ride on motobike..the bike of my friend was a recent design ( Harley Davidson style), was a comfy ride as we exchanged seats on our way back.

Unfortunately, cricket farm was closed. The smell of the flower blossom ( white flowers)  of coffee trees on the road was pretty sweet. Impressive mountains of coffee plantation, saw Moka and Arabica plants! On the same road, you'd find families building bamboo baskets. As you would ask yourseft why would they make so much of those, your question is answered as you step in the silkworm factory. Did you know it takes 7kilo of silk cocoon to make a kilo of silk?? Step by step you'd follow how they boil the cocoon, remove the larva ( boiled ones then given to feed the pigs!!), and thh machine would unroll each cocoon to make it into big rolls of silk! The silk is then dried in a heating machine; then passed to the embroidery IBM machine to fabric big linen sheets with flower designs, In the same factory, you would see the color dying machine, then the step of cooking it to become very silky touch. By their entrance, many ladies are on their couture machine making some clothe (Just like my mom did at home when i was young ).












Elephant waterfall is one of a nice CATASTROPHE naturelle i would describe..As if a earthquake fragmented the river and the blocks all fall apart and cutted the river..making it become a waterfall. Even tho it was quite slippery, we managed to climb up and down on the rocks and enjoy the mist. =)


Other fun fact: There a was a nice pagoda with big bouddhas and shiva sculptures. After our prayer, we planned on eating out  lil lunch on the bench. It started raining so had to hide behing the Goun Yam temple on the side of the entrance to finish eating. As the motobike guide approched us to direct us to the waterfall, he was so surprised we were eating and having a bottle of red wine in the middle of the day: Oh you hab Red wine eh..oh is good!  hahaahaa Dalat's local red wine is so cheap...not even 3$ the bottle and its so good!
