The canoe builders were hard at work, as I mentioned... We returned to the boat and had dinner, a swim and tied up at the shore for the night. It rained hard, which it is prone to doing during monsoon season, but brought a beautiful rainbow for the sunrise.
We got reacquainted with Maya, a little girl who introduced herself the previous evening and her friend in the yellow dress whose name I didn't catch.
Since no houseboat trip would be complete without a stint at the helm, Alison and I took turns driving, then a bridge was coming up so my fun got cut short... We were mooned by the Goddess of Light ( no, really) as we tooled back down the river. Our day of houseboat living was at an end and we were headed back to life and work as we currently know it.
Next installment will be our outing to Kodaicanal, which already happened, with a trek into a South Indian old growth evergreen rainforest, but that will have to wait until at least tomorrow.
Stay tuned!
