The junk eases away from the pier and the water takes over: limestone towers rise like ancient sentries, their sheer faces daring you to get closer. Salt and lemongrass on the breeze, the deck hums with quiet activity—lunch being served, paddles stacked, and the guide pointing out a narrow green inlet where the boat will anchor.
