Breakfast at 7:30am was fried egg and watermelon
I did not have any toast but had taken the little jar of peanut butter and jam that we found in that market
After breakfast we went by boat down a narrow river with overhaging vegetation to a lake (oxbow) where we were to walk down a path and hopefully see some birds
No birds
We did see a neat spider, a ton of leeches and a millipede
The path was totally muddy and flooded and thak goodness for the waterproof socks, lots of mosquito spray and the leech socks
Also a raincoat is must and our waterproof bags, because of course it started to rain
We returned to the lodge and stripped off all the wet muddy clothes and had lunch
Best meal so far. Finally no buffet, I guess because there was only another 2 people there for lunch
There was a bowl of barley soup and The chicken was actually edible. Also a nice cooked veggie dish with garlic
We add chili to everything to add some taste
Relaxing for few hours after lunch and then supposedly out for another afternoon cruise (after tea time)
Hoping it does not rain
Can't figure out why but we r completely exhausted ... Dizzy, light- headed
Supposedly there is not much malaria or dengue here ... So they say...
Amazing, it actually stopped tsing long enough for the boardwalk to the room dry up! Not only that but we managed to go on the evening cruise and not get rained out!
We saw some good hornbills and a beautiful Kingfisher, some macaques but just one proboscis
Rest for an hr then dinner and a pill to sleep. Up at 5am to try again for the early morning river cruise.
Dinner was very good. Only two other people there (FR)
Had egg drop soup, Cole slaw, fried morning glory and sweet and sour chicken (no bones!)
The French couple will be with us on early morning cruise
