Hoian

KonTum to Hoian, was a very hazey day.. about 6 hours travel by bus through some nice mountains and rivers... and waterfalls...After being in the highlands and only seeing about 6 tourists for the last 10 days it is a bit of a shock to suddenly see the number of tourists here.

Spent the first day here on a bike riding about.
Had a 2 hour massage and foot scrub... my feet needed a good clean up after all the walking I have been doing. Very good value too.

There are lots of tailor shops here in Hoian. Everyone trying to get you into their shops to measure you up and make a suit or any other clothing you may want.

Here is a fellow in his boat...
And another boat transporting all sorts of stuff...

And another boat...

A bit of roadworks in town with a big old steam roller...

Hoian to Hue.
Hue is a historic town with the old part of the city inside a huge mote and walls.
Walking around town for a few days... I am starting to get sick of the bike riders who keep asking you if you want a lift... you say no and they keep persisting to show you references and try and tell you how cheap they are and that they can show you around.
