Bamboo Train!
Jo and I powered by moto man! A day of a very local adventure with something of a witch as a tour guide who seemed to want to drink coffee or beer all day! I even tried a milked iced coffee- was good- especially considering i don't drink the stuff (oh and i've also had tomato ketchup and banana since being out here, not sure what's happening to my taste buds!)
Was a really good day- we got to see a local fishing port- with them food colouring the shrimps, making ice, and generally being fishermen (and ladies!) Went on to a smuggling village- lots of expensive cars around so u could tell they did good trade- anything from fridges to televisions, even people the smuggle!
Travelled 30km of a bamboo train- a wooden platform about 1.5m square motored by a moto attached to the side with one wheel on the track. Was great fun! Rule of the rain- if u come across another platform of people in the opposite direction, whoever has the least amount of stuff has to unload, de-rail and then reload! Saw lots of locals, cows on the line, and stopped for picnic just off the track on a bridge. Managed to fit 13 people in a taxi on the way back (the 4 of us on the backseat, and the rest locals!)
