Translation of eagerness in German

In the coming morning we were picked up to do a day tour in the Mekong Delta. It included several stops all around the river bed and the delta of this huge river. The first station were floating villages.
It might be that after all the view and the atmosphere could had been spectacular if we were the only one on this temple and experiencing a great sunset on this huge structure. But is was not.
We had never seen a similar landscape. The lagoons had different kind of colors, blue, white, green and red. They were all surrounded by rocky, dark volcanoes making the entire landscape surreal.
