Great hiking in the Highlands......and some golf!!






















Had two real nice days here - met some awesome people who've been all over the world and we had a great time - yeah right! - making our way up the tallest peak in the area - Berinchaing summit. Very muddy and quite steep but a great challenge - the only bummer was that the peak was very cloudy and so not much in terms of photo ops. However on the 10 km trek down we passed many beautiful tea planations - looked like miles and miles of textured green carpet. Today I needed a bit of a break from the hiking and decide to take in a game of golf...........interesting decision - course looked pretty nice from the road but was it ever in rough shape..........fairways and greens were in bad shape - very thin grass and dirt lies most of the time - my game is in tough enough shape without having to endure those kinds of course conditions - but what the hey - I was still golfing in SE Asia!! Off to KL tomorrow - a little behind schedule - should be in the Krabbi or Phucket area either Sunday or Monday.

Man - Green Green Green! How did you find time to golf between the rain drops?

But seriously, is it really rainy there or just foggy?
