You push off from a shaded bank and the raft slides forward with a soft sigh; bamboo poles click rhythmically as your raftman guides you through slow, green water. Sunlight threads through overhanging leaves and the river seems to test your pace—sometimes patient, sometimes quick to nudge you around a bend where limestone outcrops rise like old bones beneath moss.
