    Getting TO/AROUND: The Highlands Highway from coastal Lae, Papua New Guinea's second largest city, up into the mountain ranges was quite a good sealed road. It started out along the Markham River valley and then veered up and into the mountain ranges as it split away from a lesser quality road that continued north to Madang.

    It was always fun winding our way up Kassam Pass to the higher elevations where we were treated to both amazing views and very pleasant cooler temperatures! Twisting its way through the mountain ranges as the highway did, there were bound to be cases where mudslides and rock-falls had their say in the matter. However, it usually was not too long before heavy equipment arrived to re-open this vital life-line into the heart of Papua New Guinea.

    We decided to take a break from the Landcruiser and stretch our legs at this particular slide!

     even now in nepal, india and sri lanka very colourful clothes are worn all the time. we have such wonderful varieties of cotton and even the designs are so cool for hot tropical weather like ours, tight security at airports notwithstanding !!!
