In Da Lat, we have been sightseeing in Lonely Planet and had the feeling: "This can not be anything ...." Somehow, what was missing ... While walking through the town we were greeted by a friendly older gentlemen, just to the question: "Are you German", the usual answer: "How do you know?". Thus began a friendship which we have revealed many hidden sites in Vietnam. We decided on a road trip with Thao and BINGHE of Dalat to Mui Ne Beach. Overall, for four days were scheduled.
So we started on Saturday morning towards the mountains. Initial skepticism lay down quickly, we visited waterfalls, a silk mill, coffee plantations, a mushroom farm, looked at us like rice wine is made and everything was supplemented with expert explanations. In between times we have been exposed and should proceed or meet, which was really a bargain because our inexperienced back quickly even took a break.
evening we went to a family in the village, in a simple Wooden house survived. It is one of the many hill tribes, and said of course not a word of English and very limited Vietnamese. On the floor cross-legged, there were noodles with vegetables, fatty pork and of course various organs of this animal. Since we had just fear that we should now try intestine. We were lucky to have got around it. The fatty pork was us some totally sweet prepared with our chopsticks, dipped in chilli previously nice and then washed down with a little rice wine. The mother of adult children was 65 years old, but looked older. She has brought seven children into the world, unfortunately a lot of work and drinking much alcohol. Most members of the Family work as day laborers on a coffee farm. A son of the old woman, Timo was great and wanted to initiate it always with him, but unfortunately, we always forget his name. That was sweet. Then he found out that his guest is a doctor and he tried to describe his symptoms and / or audition. Unbelievable, how much communication is possible even without a common language ..... This family was very nice and your living conditions were very impressive, easy. There to take pictures, we found inappropriate. 
the next three days our tour were then also very exciting and it has continued to make a lot of fun. There was a coffee roasting plant, a snake breeder a tea plantation, small talk with local, a small mountain village and of course a flat tire on the plan. These four days have given us an insight into the life of Vietnam, off the beaten track. Now we enjoy a rest in Mui Ne on the beach and because it was so beautiful, we continue our bike tour in the Mekong Delta.
