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. |
