Where should I go in Da Lat when it rains?

In the rainy season (roughly May–November) rain usually comes in the afternoon: ride to far places in the morning, then pick covered places near the centre such as the Bao Dai Summer Palace, the railway station, Linh Phuoc Pagoda or a café with a view. Avoid waterfalls and passes in heavy rain.
