Ruteng to Bajawe

The Market at Rueteng

In Ruteng, the nicest place to stay is the monastic mission (Convent) - There was a midget nun working in the dining room, she barely could reach the table and looked so curious dressed in her traditional nun habit.  As we were staying in the convent with a 9pm curfew there was not a lot of action during the night.   

Ruteng itself is fairly unremarkable, although the people are very endearing.  Ruteng is surrounded by imposing volcanic peaks and lush countryside. It sits on a plateau which houses rice fields as far as the eye can see.
