Day 195 & 196: Da Lat and Canyoning

We caught another sleeper bus back inland to a place called Da Lat, which is much higher up in the mountains of central Vietnam. It was a lot cooler there and far less humid- so it was quite nice to not be continuously sweating throughout the day! We spent the first day looking around the town and then today had a day trip canyoning. Canyoning is basically ab-sailing down a few rock faces and then down some waterfalls along a river. I was slightly dreading it before we set off, but as soon as we started it was so much fun!

Clem and I were the only ones to jump off that waterfall and I think it was about 12m (not 100% sure though)
