This was the view across a reservoir.

Looking forward to a walk in the mountains.

Above that is sandstone.

Partway up is a colony of Macaque Monkeys.

The low cloud stopped the view of cliffs and valley, but not the vertical drop over the edge. 

This was very narrow steps cut into a bluff. 

This took a bit of umming and ahing before we took the plunge.

There was a nice swirl of mist flowing through it from below.

Straight down - we have come to expect that.

Which ends.

So someone built a suspension bridge.

The main support (I think) is wire rope under the deck.

The deck is at least 50mm thick, relatively new, timber.

After the safety inspection it just needed a deep breath and start walking.

Susanna was much braver than I and stopped halfway to look down.

Not much of a view in the haze. 

We've been hearing ciccadas ever since Cambodia and Laos.

Today we finally saw one.

Its about 30mm long.

And very noisy.

It flew away after having its photo taken.

The terraces are mostly growing corn.

Susanna wasn't sure if it was professional interest or curiosity but said yes anyway.

We soon realised it was curiosity as everyone else who worked in the car park, the tourist buses, or hotel, suddenly materialised and made a large procession to the truck.

They were all very polite and took turns to have a look. 

A luxury hotel with no customers except us. And we weren't staying there.

A word on the food - as we've gone further North we've noticed less spice, less rice, more noodles, and occasionally more meat.

We are beginning to yearn for some spicyness.
