A wonderful day

A beautiful day, our chef came to pick us up at the hotel with bikes, we went to the local market to do the shopping and then to the herb village, we visited the vegetable garden, tried the local tools, planted aromatic herbs. They gave us a beautiful massage on our shoulders, head, and feet with aromatic herbs. Then we cooked together and ate the dishes prepared with our chef. In the end, he took us back to the hotel by bike. Unforgettable
