Today's ride was really good, and Kon Tum is a great town!
I started out really early, in the hopes of getting the entire afternoon free to explore, which I'm glad I did, but being in the hills, it was FREEZING for the first few hours! Even with long pants and a long top, it was just soooo cold!!
The road was dotted with small towns, and as I got closer to Kon Tum, the green fields and stark hills were really just so beautiful!
I spent the afternoon exploring the town, which involved just tons of churches, a really cute park, and a really informative museum on the hill tribes in the area.
The museum was completely empty other than me, which was sad, because it was actually really great!! I learnt a lot, and most of the exhibits were well thought-out and authentic, other than just one which had the most hilarious taxidermy.
On the way back, I went for an explore, and found a hill tribe, but I felt weird treating them like a tourist attraction so just sort of kept going. I feel like they might be used to it a bit though, because they were all dressed in jeans and normal tops, just with a few houses on stilts for "homestays".
I tried to get some dinner from a restaurant near my hotel, but no one spoke English, and I couldn't even use Google translate to help with my charades, as I don't think the woman couldn't read, even in Vietnamese.
Tomorrow, Hoi An xx
