Jan 25 – Raft houses

Longtail boat through the floded landscape of Cheo Lan lake - a man made lake created 25 years ago submerging a village and temple below.

Arrived at raft houses - wooden and bamboo huts tied together and floating on massive logs. This was our luxury accommodation for the night. You could open your front door and dive into the lake! Everything swayed constantly. Very 'swallows and amazons'!

After fried rice lunch, had a sweaty and humid trek through the jungle to a view point - more of a rock outcrop.

Went on a night safari, didnt see any animals but nice to float through the mystical landscape and hear stories about student communist revolutionaries who sheltered here in the 1970s.
