Plenty of stops along the way allow us to try some local coffee and visit an old (and very interesting!) silk-making factory. We will then pass through some small villages, where you will see countless farmers tending crops Vietnamese style! Roads in these parts are often shared by farmers and livestock, children walking to and from school etc. So keep focused! . a real highlight riding through Vietnam is the welcoming smiles and gestures. we are on this constant smiling wave throughout the tour.  local children are always excited to try their English.  hello!  can be heard everywhere. 

Dalat famed as the ‘Swiss Alps of Vietnam,’ Dalat holds some very unique European-french influenced architecture and has a cooler climate than the surrounding areas. Dalat today is also known as the city of love, partially owing to its flower growing and romantic feel.  it has become a popular holiday retreat for young Vietnamese couples. the evening night market is well worth the visit . another great overstay on our Top Gear adventure  .
