Continuing from the previous post (Part 1 of 2, in case it wasn’t obvious), after lunch, our driver took us to a place where you walked along a long path to get to a long bridge.

Path leading to bridge over Lugu Hu

Along the way, these two girls were dressed up in traditional Musuo clothes and trying to sell apples. You would think that after all the trouble, they would be charging high prices, but they wanted 1Y (15 cents) for 3 apples. They were so cute. They reminded me of when I was selling worms I dug up in the back yard for a penny apiece, except they were cuter than I was!

After we got to the bridge, we paid for another boat ride. This time, we just went through the marsh area in the lake. This time, all of us (except Saad, who sat it out) went in one boat with these three rowing us:

At one place, the old gentleman got out and danced around on the marsh. We were all amused. He encouraged us to join him, so we all got out and did the “marsh hop”.

As you can see, we had a great time!

We all had a great time!

We then got back in the boat and went back to the bridge, where we ate some food being sold at the end.

A snack near the end of the tour

At the end of the tour, the driver dropped us off near our hostel, where we all walked around and took pictures (like the main one, above), then had a barbeque (the grill was in the middle of our table, sorry no pictures) dinner, which may have been what caused my discomfort…I’ll leave that for the next post.
