Now this is what we came for! To get a peaceful, relaxing ride on a bamboo raft. After biking through all those miles of back country that I have described in the previous posts, we finally got to climb aboard these classic bamboo rafts and get pampered somewhat by our raft drivers. We loaded up ourselves and our bikes on 3 rafts and settled in for a enjoyable hour's worth of just drifting along down this river.
The scenery was stunning and the temperature was perfect underneath our umbrellas and our stomachs were full -- it was really hard to stay awake!
"perfect glass" -- just another day in paradise!
After about 15 minutes of sitting still Colton, Cory and Quincy were well rested and ready for some action. Eric asked his driver if the water was safe for swimming and to prove how good the water was, the driver reached into the river and scooped up a big handful of water and drank it and then pronounced it -- perfect! It took the kids about 2 seconds to change into their swimming suits and start diving in and swimming between the rafts. Even Eric dove in. Paul, Heidi and I resisted the temptation to join them despite lots of enticing. This was really a highlight of the weekend and something I don't think any of us will ever forget!

Wow that does sound perfect. I am just starting a week of vacation here at home. I wish for relaxation in that category. Still loving the pictures.
