This trip was different from my first in that this time we took our time and visited only a few places. It was a relaxing and beautiful vacation....
On a trek to see an old temple in the hills, we walked through a little village, ogled by the sweet children living there ~
Here with our dear guide, making our way up hill (naturally!)
Some critters!!
And finally the doorway to the ancient temple ~
Beyond the temple we had the chance to see the backside of water!!
What a refreshing feeling!!!
Scary bridge!!!!
The fruits of the jungle:
After our physical first half of the vacation, we headed to a delightful little hotel for the relaxing second half of our vacation. What a find! This sweet little hotel (only about 5 rooms) was run by a darling man who took care to feed us well! I also enjoyed some local coconut spirits with our guide, who I think took great pleasure in seeing my face squinsh up as I tasted it!
The hotel was right on a little river which meant that we could fall asleep to the sound of rushing water ~ delightful!
Here is the view from our room:
Here I am sitting at our lunch table, before going back down to sit in the sun by the pool ~
It rained while we were there, but because we were so relaxed we didn't even mind! Here you can see our 'infinity' pool and just how close we are to the river. In fact, it ran under the porch on which the dining tables were ~ glorious!
Besides, the river rose and kept us gasping!!!
