The village is beautiful, with all of the houses up on stilts. Being constantly surrounded by water, and hearing it lapping at the structures at all hours imparts a profound peace and tranquility on the place. People are milling around, kids are playing, and the water is slowly lulling everyone into a more peaceful state. Pretty fantastic. Of note, the tides are huge. At low tide, a significant portion of the ground under the village is exposed, and it’s easy to see how high the houses are stilted up. However at high tide, the water comes right up to edge of the walkways and houses. In fact, the water breaches the walkway in some spots.
