Loved this excursion. Met Kimmy our wonderful guide at Gate must take the free shuttle to get to the gate. Fishing village was interesting, oh the smells...Reclining Buddha impressive, my favorite was the visit to the school. If you can, pack some simple school supplies pencils, construction paper, glue sticks, anything. They were so appreciative and it made me so happy to give. The waterfalls were pretty, we didnt swim but walked all around. If there is a lady there making fried bananas, you must try. Delicious.
One of my greatest take always from this entire trip happened sitting on the beach chatting with Kimmy, the guide. We have all been blessed with different things in our lives. Kimmy hoped to one day get to travel like me, but his smile was huge when I explained that I had to trek half way across the world to see what he gets to see everyday. We both appreciated what we have a bit more after that lovely conversation. Even though we are all different, we are all the same.
