Comments:
The route will change here from what you have seen on your journey so far, as you start to climb inland, the vegetation changes and the air feels cooler and drier. There are a lot of Pineapple plantations as well we cashew when in season
You will see signs with little broken pieces printed over it, this means Chinese contractors are resurfacing the road, but first they scrape it and turn it into a rugged bumpy ride
