We rented a car and got on the road by 11:30. The first hour was a little crazy as we were not on the highway yet. In fact we actually missed the turn to get on the highway, never having been that way before. Thankfully we could see it up and to our left on the mountainside and knew we were going the much slower way. We turned around and got back on track. We ate lunch in the car, which saved time, and only stopped once! The trip took us about six hours, longer than we had hoped, but we made it safe and sound.
Driving through some villages.
Road construction here hindered us some. They are extending the 'expressway.'
Can't drive too fast on this type of terrain
And then there is always the herd of water buffalo to watch out for
It was one way for a little bit
The expressway was awesome.
Yes people farm on these steep terrains.
we went through many tunnels, some over a mile long, I asked David about the engineering behind digging your way through a mountain and the stability of it all. He assured me, somewhat.
This countryside is just glorious.
Over the mountains and through the woods we went. Or through the mountains and over the woods...
