Our hotel is painted in lively mustard yellow and blue, and there are flower-draped fountains in three locations.

Here, you can easily see the remains of the monastery that forms the foundation of the hotel.

This morning our adventure is a river raft ride on class two rapids. We suit up for safety and laugh at each other's outfits.

Sylvia is on the river and, despite the fact that she can barely swim, she is obviously filled with joy and excitement.

June and Lucille also seem to be having the time of their lives.
