Joseph and the driver picked us up
At 8.00 am from the hotel. We drove slowly out of town through rural areas where people were busy ploughing with oxen. The scenery was green and wet a picture from a book.
A local guide met us at Wenchi where we walked for about 90 minutes through the spring filled valley. Another scene from the past as disused water driven mills occupied.
After reaching the lake where we heard the monks chanting from the monastery we were trowed over to the island. Local congregants had just finished their afternoon worship service.
After returning from the historical monastery we were rowed back. Enjoyed an authentic fasting meal at the local guides house then headed back to the town.
The lodge was amazing set in native bush with rooms designed in the different tribal styles. House pools and massage completed the experience the next day.
Josi kept us informed of the history and culture all the way and went out of his washing to ensure we had everything we needed. Sis I is a great driver. We returned after lunch the following day. Fantastic trip we’ll worth it Another night at the lodge would be great too
