Trying to sit down for lunch at the village…

May, aka the most adorable tour guide ever. She’s 18 and was fascinated with me, and kept walking with her arm around Valerie or I. We took a Polaroid and gave it to her, and she pinky promised to come to Australia one day. She was even to cute as to make me, Valerie and Joe woven bracelets. Here she is washing her gumboots.

The local ladies and children made these fern hearts and handed them out to all the travellers. Some even made grass animals too.

I think the most incredible thing about this place, and hardest part to fathom is that each and every one of these formations is man-made, from the top of the mountain down.

Yesterday the fog was awful, for ages on our walk downhill you couldn’t see a single view out to your right if the incredible mountains. Not a single photo because of this does the scenery any justice to how amazing it actually was. Thankfully, the drizzles of rain kept at bay, mostly.

Hand-made gifts from the local ladies, made whilst trekking.

No matter which way you looked on this trek (except down) the view was always incredible, and around every corner was an even better one..
