educational and rewarding - Our bus tour group met Percy, Richardo and Sabina along with their families. We were entertained (song and dance), we got dressed up and joined in. We learned how the islands are made (tied together), how long they last (about 20 yrs) and why they live on the isles, It's involved and you should go and learn it yourself! Warm and friendly people who are simple and happy. It took a little getting used to walking on the reeds, but it's not too difficult.
