Okay. Another day spent doing tourist stuff. Mostly my wife went shopping and she feels better if I'm with her.
We started by going to a place where they hand craft clothing. Weave by loom, dye by wax and skin their own thread.
After that we went to a shop for handmade gifts. Then a silversmith.
Now this was really really boring. It was sort of cool seeing the artisans but my wife spent so much time shopping. Ugh
However then we went to a coffee plantation which was actually kind of cool. We saw lemongrass, vanilla orchid and of course coffee plants.
They even showed us how they roast and grind the coffee in the traditional way.
After that we were treated to complementary coffee and tea. Well I guess herbal infusions actually. I enjoyed both the mangosteen and lemongrass tea. My wife enjoyed the coffee.
Next up were the rice terraces. Not nearly as impressive as the ones in the Philippines but still pretty cool.
Side note. Our driver was awesome at parallel parking.
After that I was tired but my wife wanted to explore one of the many temples.
And yeah. After this I was done and just wanted to go home. Only to find out the temple was about 60km from our hotel and it would be a two for drive back in rush hour traffic.
We got back to the hotel late but my wife needed to buy luggage before we travel tomorrow. So we sit for a few minutes then we are back out in the road to walk to a store that sells luggage about 1km away.
And that's how I spent my day and got my steps.
Thanks for reading.
Until tomorrow
