Chu Se to Buon Ma Thout

January 24, 2014
Today's journey took us over mostly broken asphalt road with some loose gravel through the central plains to the city of Buon Ma Thout which is the coffee capital of Vietnam. Although the travel guides do not give justice to this town I enjoyed the cafés and local culture. The Vietnamese coffee is very strong and thick however one either loves it or dispises it. Personally I would drink nothing else and purchased some to bring home. Many Hill Tribes exist in this region and along with Yok Don National Park this city becomes a stopping off point for most. Tonight we met up with our friends from the Netherlands and the Easy Riders team for a beer and a discussion on our daily journey and next stops. Tomorrow they will head to Nha Trang on the coast and we will head to Dalat in the mountains. We said our goodbyes and wished them safe travels.
