Papua Highlands 2 Voracious Appetite

We crammed into the bicycle rickshaw and were ridden along a bumpy road to the local market to buy some food. 
We bought a huge bag of veggies, some eggs, rice, seasonings, fruit and some biscuits and snacks. We brought well more than we needed for the 3 days. I could've lasted about 2 weeks on it. My guide ate about three times I did however so i was feeding his voracious appetite.
So we headed off in a crammed packed bemo full of old ladies and young children. Imagine a pickup truck with a cover. Then fit 30 people. That's what it was.
The ride took about an hour or so, and given the excessively long bus trips I've taken up to this point it seemed rather short (although going back was another story). We got off at what appeared to be a washout from a rock slide that took out the road.
