 (orig) (info) One of the reed boats |
 (orig) (info) An empty boat |
 (orig) (info) They've started using plastic beneath the top layer of reeds so that the tops of the boats stay dry. A ride cost around $1. |
 (orig) (info) This didn't come out too well. It's the edge of the reed island -- beneath the water you can see some of the root clumps. |
 (orig) (info) This bird wandered over when the guide we had was explaining about the fish of the lake, then he ate one. |
 (orig) (info) One of the bigger islands, though not the biggest one. |
 (orig) (info) It's you know who... |
