Sunrise, joyful and hopeful with the new day. 7am. |
This is what the rural villages all look like. |
Fishermen! |
found out where pampus grass is from |
our boat |
fixing the motor, 10am. |
too shallow, everyone unload and walk and I'll meet you around the bend (at least that's what we think he said) |
wandering through farmer's fields |
we see the boat! It's not stopping to get us. |
more fields, the farmers kept pointing us in strange directions. Also this area is heavily land mined. |
saw some baby chicks on the walk |
now we can't see the boat at all. It's so hot out, we have been walking for 45 minutes. |
but there was a little stand that sold warm beer! All the other countries on the boat thinks Canada is crazy at this point. |
Now we have lost the river completely. |
This is David and Megan. David knows how to fix boats. David was our hero. |
May as well take a photo |
Boat hit this man's fishing net, he was not thrilled. |
Every child we saw in Cambodia waved at us. |
I'm actually not very happy here. We are hungry and all nearly out of water. |
neighbourhood kids |
Chinese style fishing nets, the whole thing opens and goes underwater and then gets pulled up into this shape. Very cool. |
really dirty water. |
In the floating villages along the river even the livestock live on the water. |
Cambodian chips, the chili straws were very good |
Stopped for lunch! Filthy water but the fish in it make an excellent curry. |
sunset! And we are still on this fucking boat. |
Chris being a hero, he got all the guys to take a turn and everyone applauded when each person finished |
We finally arrived around 7pm in darkness only to find our "dock" was quite far from the city and had to pay twenty American for the tuk tuks. We shared with a lovely young man from Manchester named Leigh.
