River Town Day Trip
Yesterday we went on a boat trip in a little six person sampan boat in Rivertown. Then after a while the boat driver dropped us off at a little part of the town that had a ‘shopping street’. Only this town’s idea of a ‘shopping street’ was my idea of little huts along an old cement road with people selling all kinds of stuff. Most of it was either junk or stuff that had prices that were not worth the quality of the item. Also this was the first place I’ve been to that allows you to haggle prices down to an amount you and the shop keeper agree on. So we walked around the place just for the heck of it.
When we finally finished shopping (I didn’t get anything -although I did see an awesome looking archery set that came with a wooden bow, 3 wooden arrows and a quiver made of woven-together bamboo) we met up with the tour guide and out group near where the boat dropped us off. It was so nice to get back onto the bus after spending 3 or so hours in the coal-hot, deadly heat.
Well hope you’re having as good a time as I am (with no deadly heat that is), Thomas.
