No bridge? No problem. (How you cross a river canyon in Sumatra.)

I woke up to gorgeous blue skies and golden sunlight in the highlands of Sumatra. So I unplugged my kettle - thereby canceling my second coffee of the morning - and put on my hiking sandals.

There was a trail right beside my hotel room that went steeply up into the surrounding hillsides. I had no idea what was up there, so I went to find out.

And after making my way down, I took a chance that the local cable trolley across the river could hold my weight.
