Today's journey took us over some of the most twisty roads yet during our trip which I enjoyed immensely. I was only forced off of the road twice by maniacal bus drivers. Through dense jungle passes to the central highlands brought us warm and sunny weather of which we have seen little since departing Hanoi. We stopped early afternoon in the small city of Kon Tum. Not much action here however the surrounding hill tribe villages are interesting. We spent the afternoon exploring two of the nearby villages known as Bahner villages located on the edge of town. These neighbourhoods look and are significantly poorer than the town itself. Village life centres on the traditional rong house, a tall thatched roof community house built on stilts. The stilts were originally for protection from elephants, tigers and other animals.
