As plan, destination for the second day is Buon Don. About 40km far way from Buon Ma Thuot. Buon Don for long has been famous for domesticating wild elephants. Visiting Ban Don you'll learn a lot about their long tradition of taming wild elephants and legends of the elephant-training King. Adventurous enough, you can get a dug-out canoe and drift along the Serepok River to visit the 7-branched waterfalls. There's also an option of riding elephant through the beautiful wild of Yok Don National Park. Elephants typically carry three people, but for heavier Westerners two is usually the limit. Booking direct costs from 100,000 to 200,000d per hour.
Also as plan, we must start going to Buon Don early, about 6:00AM. That was plan. Practice was different! :) Getting a long journey to Lak lake, everyone got tired especially female members. While waiting for their, others took pictures or got to Sunrise shop to enjoy a cup of coffee.

Ok, we were full, we were excited. Come on everyone! Let's go!

It was over 3PM, everyone were full, felt a little tired and decided not to come other spots in Buon Don. The team came back to BMT city and came to see a friend of team at her home instead of going to waterfalls because it was late.

That is the second day in BMT with joy, happiness although missing some nice places. No problems, the team feels good is the most important!
As plan, team would come to waterfalls at the early next morning. Again, plan was broken because the time to come back to HCMC was changed sooner to 9AM. Team had breakfast while waiting for the bus.
Getting into the bus, began the 9hour-journey to HCMC along the national road 14.
The bus received passengers time by time caused us unhappy beside that the bus stopped at the restaurant that got much money from this lunch. They will be our experiences next trips in the future.
Arrived at Mien Dong bus station at 6:30PM. Complete the trip to Buon Ma Thuot with knowing new places in our beautiful country, happiness, everyone gets together and... although missing some nice places. It seems the successful trip. Cheer!!! See you in the next trip: Da Lat.
P/S: The trip was not finished! Some days after the trips, there was many calls from the wounded motor-bike's owner. We wondered "Why does he call?", "What does he want?". Ah ah, "You forgot to return security card of the motor-bike! Please send it for me!" Ka ka ka ka, "Sorry, we forgot it. We will send it to you right now by express service." :)
