Up early in the morning, we headed north to Ban Bor Thor (about an hour drive). Jumped in a double canoe, there was one other couple and our guide. We causually drifted around the maze of mangrove forests. They seemed never ending, and we never actually did find the end.

As the always, it was hot and the sun was beaming. So avoiding sunburn with great skill, we got to enjoy some fantastic views. We plotted out some caves before lunch, they were almost pitch black except for the constant flashing of our cameras.

The whole day cost $NZ40 each, which included transport, the guide, the canoes, water/fizz and food. The food was amazing, the four of us sat down for lunch and a good 8 plates of different dishes was presented.

After lunch, we hit the mangroves again and saw some native cave paintings which they claimed were a couple thousand years old. We might believe them, maybe not. On the way back, we stopped at some fresh water springs for a swim. By this time we were so exhausted from the days kayaking that we just used it as a tourist stop and watched a swarm (it was Sunday) of natives go for a swim. At the spring, one of guide treated us to some local foods, a sticky sweet coconut paste and some friend banana slices. It was pretty good, but you wouldn't want to live off it.
