We managed to get out of the main city centre today to take a river boat ride. The trip was about an hour and a half and we were in a wooden boat that held about 20 people and was powered by a couple of guys rowing and a couple of guys steering with long bamboo poles. We were given a sheet of plastic to cover us from getting wet as they took us through the white water rapids, I guess they were only gentle rapids but it feels a little more extreme when you are actually in the boat. Ian has some great videos of this trip so he can fill you in later.

Strangely, another boat pulled up to ours toward the end of the journey and a swear they had a shop of refreshments, beers, drinks, snacks plus a guy with a griddle cooking fish and stuff for you to take out on carry out containers. Genius!
