Due to the recent unseasonal rains, the flood waters have reached almost to the lodge building itself which has restricted access to the forest trails but made for interesting kayaking with a strong current making us work hard on the upstream leg.
We had started the day with yoga and after kayaking and lunch we had a boat trip on the lagoon watching a local fisherman running his lines
and stopped on a sandbank to see the sunset.
We had an excellent dinner of BBQ crab, fish and prawns at the next door hotel - slightly irritated by the loud young Englishman who was telling the neighbouring table about his travels to almost everywhere in the world - 20 years of back-packing - despite looking about 15 years old!
Day three started with a boat safari through the mangroves
- didnt find the bat colony but saw a family of Monkeys - Grey Langurs - and quite few bird species - White-bellied Sea Eagles, Brahmimy Kites, Grey Herons, Great and Lesser Egrets,
Caspian and Little Terns, Black-headed Ibis and a couple of different Storks.
Another meal, afternoon nap, cycle ride and dinner before we are packed and ready to go at 05 45 tomorrow for a jeep safari in the National Park.
