Ventured forth with Eunice and Isobel, two sisters from Borneo, to The Delta. After arriving there we visited a brick kiln! Saw how bricks were made. Examined the kiln. From the inside. Tang, our intrepid guide, reckons that some couples get married in them.
We then boarded a small vessel to journey up river and into a canal where we experienced the ancient craft of preparing coconut candy. Yummy. Then we were off to see how two ladies can make 75 cents an hour by making grass mats.
An exciting trip back onto the river while a gale was blowing was a treat. Especially when they handed out the life jackets and requested that we put them on!
We made it to our destination: the La Jarrai. A converted freight carrier of some kind. We were given a demonstration on how to make spring rolls before I showed them how to do it properly.
We had a lovely meal. Chicken and banana flower salad. Caramelised pork in claypot with bok choy and rice.
