day 41, 42 ........ lang co beach

catching the 5:30 AM train south

all board the "soft" seat car

vendor's peddle dried squid through the chainlink windows... not thanks

taxi's into town

r&r

and gettin the toes wet

all very well indeed suited up and ready for war... our chariot (minus the broken gauges, light, brakes and starter) revs with anticipation and we're (barely) off! rolling through the countryside to elephant springs

a rocky outcrop which gave the springs its namesake

below fresh water pools form amongst the boulders and cabanas

finally back at the beach with a bowl of bun bo hue

Day 35 ........ perfume pagoda

miss saigon your boat has arrived

all aboard

life on the perfume river... some catch fish, other catch tourists

tram to the top

entrance to mountain the fragrant traces

view out from the less than fragrant cave

entrance to the perfume pagoda

up within

going local

and the real deal
