The amazing views of the endless rice paddies in the mountains was somewhat dampened by the cloudy weather. The trekking was not like other treks we had encountered. We had one main lady guide who spoke reasonable English and we also had had our little friend each (a little lady that shadowed your every step and by the end you had to purchase one of their hand knitted goods).
The home stay was a beautiful large house – a lot more modern than expected. The bamboo house did not leave Katie feeling secure for the hour-long, massive lightning storm. They could sleep up to 15 guests, we were fortunate to have a gorgeous Polish couple (Darek and Kate), as well as 3 Canadian ring ins, who happen to be sisters!
The second day of trekking was to be quite harder than the first day-however with regular stops as the cold weather and mist set in, it seemed quite easy. The scenery overall was simply magic. As we walked through the jungle, our guide told us about the small snakes that drop from the trees…Jayden definitely took some wide berths when unnecessary!
