Water buffalo on the banks af the River Li.
beautiful! did you climb any of those peaks?
Uli
Yes all of them.
No, we went on a boat for 4 hours with a full meal included. Then through a market in a little tourist village and then back by coach. A nice relaxing morning, but they managed to tire us out in the afternoon.
It is beautiful scenery but it was hazy so we did not get the full vista. And the boat would not keep still. ( camera shake? Moi? never.
)
It looks like a beautiful scenery indeed NT... I love the foliage in those .... mountains? peaks? relieves? cerros!!
....
Nice to see Uli's boat in real life...
Haha, NT, but not on a punting boat like this did you have you meal, did you?

Err...Mmmhh...No. I dont like soggy food.
But some people were dining on the punt boats. They have a little box which keeps them out of the water.:/
It was a restaurant boat at water level, with windows and tables and chairs all posh looking. Carpets and curtains, and upstairs a standing deck/viewing point, with a little gazebo type structure for special guests.
But looking at our pics afterwards....and seeing the chefs?? cooking at the back of the boat, it is a wonder I am still alive to tell the tale.
Strangely we have not got one pic of our boat.
But soon I will find a few nice ones to show.
