Cat Tien National Park

The humidity and temperature here are killing our notebook as it seems. It started crashing every few minutes. If we’re not posting tomorrow it’s not because we don’t care, but because our notebook completely died on us. This is also why I’m going to keep this post on the short side… Sorry about that.

We started our day with a very nice pho and a black coffee at the beautiful Spirit Garden Guesthouse. According to a Canadian tourist we met yesterday it’s one of the top places to stay in vietnam. It seems like it’s going to be downhill from now on.

After breakfast we went to the Cat Tien National Park. A ferry brought us to the other side of the river for the completely exorbitant fee of 60'000 VDN (a bit more than 2CHF).

We walked a few of the jungle trails, all clearly marked by blue arrows. Sadly we didn’t see any larger animals, only insects and some birds…

In the evening we enjoyed some of the best springrolls I’ve ever had and Quoc (the host) showed us some of the routes for the next few days.
