Itinerary: The itinerary was very satisfying! The original plan was to depart at 5 AM for Sky Mirror. After Sky Mirror, there would be about 8 hours of free time before the next activity, during which we could choose to return to the hotel or explore nearby. However, since we were quite tired from waking up so early, we proactively suggested returning to the hotel to rest and have lunch. When Ken learned of our lunch plans, he recommended ICC PUDU and drove us there. He also enthusiastically introduced many small stalls he thought were excellent. I must say, Ken truly lives up to his reputation as a food expert; the food he recommended was indeed delicious, especially the curry laksa, which was absolutely amazing! After lunch, a friend in our group expressed a desire to buy chocolates as souvenirs, and Ken proactively introduced us to a famous chocolate souvenir shop – truly top-notch service! Around 4 PM, we set off to feed eagles, watch fireflies, and see the blue tears. Since there was still some time before the eagle feeding upon arrival, Ken drove us to the nearby Monkey Hill to see monkeys 🐒. This was an extra activity, and it wouldn't be possible if it happened to be a holiday. Before heading out to feed the eagles, watch fireflies, and see the blue tears, Ken thoughtfully reminded us that there would be many mosquitoes and taught us the most effective way to apply mosquito repellent to avoid being bitten. Indeed, we weren't bitten by any mosquitoes throughout the entire trip! 🤣🤣 Ken also told us the best viewing spots on the boat, ensuring we could enjoy the eagles, fireflies, and blue tears from the optimal positions. The whole experience was truly excellent!

Other: For Sky Mirror, an iPhone is needed to capture the best photos. Also, since the water level can reach knee height before receding, it's recommended to wear swimwear/shorts/skirts. However, for the evening, it's best to wear long pants, and since it can be a bit chilly, it's advisable to bring a jacket.
