The day started with breakfast at one of the beach restaurants. A mini bus transferred us to the pickup for the hour and half boat ride down river, mangrove swamps on either side. A bit boring, but for the occasional sea eagles flying overhead and one swooping down to catch a fish.
Arrived at an island and landed on deserted beach for an hour. The sea was nice and warm, it was nice to relax after the hard seats of the boat. The depth of water was no more than 3ft however far you walked out, Janinia was happy she could swim and not feel out of her depth.
From the beach we strolled......... trekking it said in the itinerary, across the island for an hour. Saw several new butterflies to us ,so we were kept amused. Came to a local village where we had lunch in a hut built out into the sea. Barracuda fish, salad and a crispy bread roll washed down with a coke......shame they had no draught beer.
From here the boat headed back up river, stopping at a tower for a view across the canopy. Not very high but the spiral staircase was very steep and did not always have a hand rail on the outside Only 8 people at a time were allowed on the structure at a time in case it collapsed.
