After a few days in Mui Ne we took a bus to Dalat. We had heard that the road to Dalat was very bad so we were prepared for the worst. Once we got on the bus we noticed they had a spare tyre sitting on one of the seats which seemed a bit odd. About 15 minutes into the journey the bus stopped at the side of the road and they proceeded to take off a wheel, remove the tyre and put on this new tyre. Only in south east asia would this happen, anywhere else they'd have changed the tyre before collecting a bus load of tourists to go on a journey.

Changing a tyre 15 minutes into a journey
The journey to Dalat was very slow as the road was so bad. At times there was no road at all instead a gravel path with large craters. The bus driver was well used to road and quietly smoked cigarette after cigarette as he slowly made his way along the road.

We made it to Dalat safely and hired out motorbikes this time at a regular price without the tet tax. There was considerably less traffic in Dalat than Saigon although their bridges did not inspire confidence.
