Friday 2 October

It's a lovely relaxing morning to enjoy with out any pressure catching up on things. We have a nap and go for a long walk through the countryside. There are hundreds on bamboo rafts on the river today ferrying ppl up and down, shading with umbrellas. It looks like a rainbow. There are two men with nets collecting tags from the drivers when they go under the bridge. Not quite sure what they mean. We see butterflies and chickens, ducklings and farmers. Rice is drying on the concrete and an old lady collects it and puts it through a wooden device. There is a small crowd collected around a man with a type of quad copter. He eventually flies it after much set up. Once back, Malcolm goes to town for a few supplies and I catch up with messages. When he returns we go to the roof to wait for dinner. It's a beautiful evening. We meet a Chinese medicine doctor from Israel. She is also vegetarian. We have a lovely meal with lots of yum food! One of the families little girl does some dancing for us.
