    We can not stop telling people how wonderful our trip with you was. The highlight for us was going to areas where they had never seen foreigners before and they were so happy to see us. We wondered why they all giggled when we said hello. We appreciated the extra care you took - eg washing our cutlery and checking that the fruit we ate was cleaned properly. Video Clips 29 Sep 2011
