Views from our Cabin  
Every so often it was possible to glimpse Pink Dolphins from the deck.
Views from just outside of our cabin.
Riverside homes.  Many of these float so as to accommodate the fluctuation in water levels during the year which is up to about 14 metres.
There are many islands on the river and these prevent you from comprehending the full width of the river.
However, the river is so wide that when the view across it is uninterrupted, it is still not always possible to see the opposite shore.
Although 36 hours seemed like a long time before we set off, we enjoyed the trip so much we were sorry to leave and wished we were continuing on our boat further downstream.
