Wednesday September 25
Up at 5:30 and off to the boat to tour the Floating Islands
The only way to enter the Floating Islands is by commercial tour. These Islands are built first by cutting the root base of reeds about 1 meter deep 4 blocks with a stake driven in each block then tied together with reeds or rope if they can barter for stakes and rope. Then one meter more of layers of reeds. Then they add on to the island by 4 block segments. They continually need to refresh the top layer of reeds because they compost... Then there are 12 rocks that anchor the island. There are approximately 80 floating islands with 4000 people living on them.
