Bamboo boat rafting on Li River
It was a wonderful day, the sky was so clear the weather was a bit warmer from the fist day i arrived.
After having breakfast we decided to have a bamboo boat rafting on Li River. We walked and met a lady that offered a short trip to a small village and back.
Bamboo boat rafting on Li River
Along the way, we saw water bufallos, some of them are crossing the river. We also saw some fishermen use the cormorants birds to catch the fish. it is unable to swallow the fish as a string has been tied loosely around its neck. The fisherman, who is on a bamboo raft will lift the bird onto the raft and remove the fish and drop it into a basket. The bird then goes back into the water to try to catch some more. Poor birds.
The whole trip took about 2 hours. Around 4 pm we went to one of the guesthouse called Li River Retreat (to have a look), its around 25 minutes walked from the West Street. Because we felt a bit tired, when we saw a group of young local guys coming by their bicycle, we asked them to take us the the Guesthouse.. hehe..So we sat at the back and our “new friends” brought and dropped us to the Guesthouse. They are so friendly :).
