After early lunch, we load the kayaks
with gear & head inland. With
each passing moment we travel back
in time into a land where life has
remained unchanged. Their main cash
crop – Cinnamon, is still transported
by boat, just as the Dutch used to
do a few centuries ago! We make camp
besides a cinnamon garden, complete
with hammocks. Evening at leisure,
exploring the plantation, bird watching,
trying your hand at fishing or lazing
away at the campside hammock. Dinner
besides campfire & overnight in
tents.
Day 2.
After breakfast we kayak to visit
an ancient temple complex, built by
a king. Thereon we visit a village
hamlet where we jointly cook lunch.
After spending time with these river
folk, we leave back for camp for a
BBQ dinner, around the camp-fire.
Overnight in tents.
