We continue to hike up steep hillsides and down slippery rocky paths. By the end of the day we arrive in another Karen Village. It is located in an absolutely stunning valley. Tired and sore we are taken to our accommodation by the river. It is basically a platform with three bamboo walls. The front is open to the river. We sleep on a thin pad on a bamboo floor with a few blankets to cover ourselves. I ask our guide “are there many snakes here” he smiles broadly and says “oh yes, many – they are good to eat! Great I think and wonder if one will join us in our shelter tonight……..
