Jungle boogie time!

Today Vi and I trekked with Phat Tire Ventures, a local outdoors company, on their popular Jungle Boogie route. We started with a pick up at 8 am then a short drive to the neighboring highlands. I was eager to see more of the beautiful countryside encircling Dalat so was very excited for today's hike. Plus it keeps with my Sunday hiking streak as last Sunday we trekked in Hong Kong! The walk started through farm land and past the ethnic minority groups homeland and then rose sharply into the jungle. The jungle was actually much cooler than expected which is nice when it was about 90 degrees and relatively humid in the sun. We went up and up and finally made it to the top in time for lunch. Thein served us sandwiches but I was gaga over the fresh fruit! Mangos, dragon fruit, pineapple... Heavenly! We then trekked down the other side and eventually out of the uncle before arriving at a beautiful lake for a short boat ride back to our awaiting vehicle. Overall, it was about 14 km and an excellent bush whacking jungle experience!
