some shaped. Pass through a laterite quarry stone by stone they go deeper in
the soil each stone geometrically similar no scales in use yet all will be
same size. Drive to Rubber Plantation, collection of latex and check the plantation
workers inviting to a tug of war with their natural rubber sheets. They say
it never snaps how very true try your luck…!
Enjoy the sun over a virgin stretch of beach, not a soul but you…have
your lunch by the sun, sea, and sand. Uphill you take on the job of an army

village welcomes you, watch local men tap toddy, ferment and distill it too…

woven mats get ready in no time. Later on move on to see the 15th century

their boats with fresh catch.
