A Northern adventure Part I

How to distill a 7 day road trip in a few posts... hmmm perhaps impossible, so we'll give you a few highlights:

Up North the roads through the steep mountains were winding, twisty and in need of repair due to landslides in places - here we were stopped by road work
We got out of the car to walk for a bit, and watched these fellows on their motorcycles negotiate the turns
Around another corner there was a water buffalo with a wooden bell
To get to the Eco Lodge you park on one side of the river and cross the bridge on foot
Where we stayed at the Eco Lodge
Rice terraces from the highest point of our hike. The rice is turning golden and will soon be ready for harvest by hand
The terraces were built into such steep slopes that each level was almost as high as it was wide


They also grow tea in the area and we visited a small tea producer - here they're drying tea in baskets (more like trays)
