You arrive at the park pier and step into an open-sided e‑tuk; the air tastes of salt and pine, and the narrow road bends toward twin salt lakes that hold a slow, inland tide. The driver eases forward and the vehicle hums — quiet enough to let the lake’s hush compete with conversation — while the shoreline and small villages slide past.
