We woke up this morning and were treated to bread rolls and omelet for breakfast.
Once we had packed up, we crossed the river on a boat and started to climb our second mountain (the name i have forgotten). Up and up we walked. Somehow, the leechers were worse here, and I got the worst of them. After a few short breaks we finally reached the top and it was worth the hard climb.
The view from the top was absolutely amazing!!
We could see the whole of Dalat city, Elephant Mountain and countless other mountains that made up Vietnam's centeral highlands.
We could also see the mountain we were climbing tomorrow, Lang Bian Mountain.
It is 2163 meters high and you couldn't see the two peaks because they were in the clouds.
We tryed not to think about tomorrow..
And so we climbed (well, the boys ran) halfway down the mountain where we camped in between the pine trees, with an amazing view of a nearby mountain.Some of us sat together and carved into sticks, other sat on the side of the mountain enjoying the peace and serenity. It was a very relaxed atmosphere.
Two of our three guides had started playing a card game called 13. It was entertaining to see them slapping down cards and callum decided he wanted to join in.
One of the rules was that the loser of a round would have to kneel while playing, until they won a round. All up I think Callum was kneeling for about an hour..
Dinner was than ready and Darcy was happy to discover that it was Spaghetti, a dish he was missing quite a lot apparently.
It was an early night that night, one that had us sleeping in the low lying clouds, so every gust of wind, our tents would be slpashed with condensation.
