Vietnam720: Adam from MuiNeBeach.net went on a 2 weeks Vietnam central highlands road trip and shares with us his experiences here. Enjoy the photos he brought back and see the rewards for taking the road less traveled in Vietnam. This is Part 3 of his 4 parts post. See Part 1 and Part 2 here.

Adam: I considered staying the night in Plei Ku, but folks there confirmed that local police will not allow foreigners to go anywhere in the province of Gia Lai except the highway and the city itself, without a licensed government tour guide. So, I continued on to Kontum, where I was allowed to travel with more, though not complete freedom.
