last day in Da Lat

Before checking out, we enjoyed a quiet swim in the pool and lounged since the sun was out .  We had rain most afternoons and so took advantage of the sunshine.  WE checked out at noon and had hired a driver for the afternoon to give us a tour since the flight did not leave until 7:45.  For about $40US  we got a tour of a coffee plantation, a pagoda and elephant falls.  At the beginning of our drive we had such torrential rain and road washouts that I was sure we would get stuck somewhere but as we approached the plantation the rain stopped.  Had to think of my mom who would say'Wenn Angel reisen, scheint die Sonne'.

We ordered a coffee and enjoyed the refreshing air and view.

We also visited a silk making factory.  The elephant falls were much grander than I thought.  We managed to climb down part way to get different views and am always amazed at the lack of any safety features at these venues.

Our flight was delayed by 20 minutes but our cab ride home was one of the quickest for a Friday night. Unfortunately  my cold has taken a turn for the worse.  Saturday I visited the hospital again and walked away with a bag full of meds.  I slept for most of SAturday and 12 hours that night.  Today - Sunday our house cleaner has arrived and I am going to rest most of the day.  Frank is out shopping for groceries - what a guy :)
