    We took some time for rest after lunch.
    Almost dawn time, we started to gather for heading the city.
    Took some nice photos at the peaceful place before saying goodbye:

    The dark came so fast, really different from our imagination. On the way out, we stuck there for abt 20mins as there was a malfunction truck at the middle of the road.

    Done the group photo, we took a ride around Xuan Huong Lake - the lung and the heart of Dalat City - to say goodbye to the beautiful place:

    On the way back Ho Chi Minh City, we met our friend from HCMC to join us. It was so pitty to him that he was hanging around with other business so could not be able to join with us from trip beginning:

    A place to rest ourselves and our bike:

    I kept up with every post and really enjoyed them. It gave me some insight into a country that I know almost nothing about. For the terrain and roads that you have there, I'm curious as to how popular dual purpose bikes are such as the XR650L. I'm looking forward to your next trip!
