Travel to "The Hills"

Saturday November 21, 2009

It was an early start to the day - we left the city at about 8:30am and started our journey to "The Hills". Took us about an hour to get there - a beautiful region! As always it's nice to get out of the city. Here we spent the morning shopping at the wood market. The woods work was wonderful - amazing talent and craftsman ship from the men and women in this region. There was so much to choose from - and I was able to pick out a few items to buy and bring home :) For lunch we stopped at this little restaurant - a big bowl of rice, an omelet and salad for what would be equivalent to $3 CAN. At the restaurant I got speaking to this older women who used to live in Canada (Scarborough!) Small world - So when I told her that I knew the area she was very happy to talk with me.
We spent the afternoon at the Botanical Gardens. About a 30min walk up hill from the wood market. Beautiful grounds here! A great way to spend an afternoon :)
