Papua Highlands trek 4 I was getting annoyed.

And off we were again. Shortly after the roadway ended and we headed up the mountain side along a little trail. It was difficult but Penius certainly made it seem difficult. We had ladies in their 60's carrying heavy loads passing us easily. I was getting annoyed. 

He never really talked or gave information. If I asked a question it was a short curt response or he didn't know.
Lands here were divided by stone walls presumably to stop the pigs from escaping/entering. The walls could range from 1-2m high and used no mortar. Just stones placed carefully on each other. 

There would be a few sticks or branches that worked as a ladder to get over (if a branch placed diagonally can be called a ladder).
After going vertical for some time, we got to a horizontal trail which we followed for a while through a couple small villages. A few drops of water were falling from the sky, when we veered off the path to the first homestay.
