We got a late start. After finally finishing breakfast at 12 o’clock, we went to a place to get on a bamboo boat. These boats were nicer than the fishing boats, but just because of the seats. It was still a boat made out of bamboo with a person who punts. There were no boats with three seats, so we got two boats with two seats each. My mom and I took one, and my dad took another. The people who punted the boats were very friendly. The ride was about two hours long and very peaceful. We had been going for about ten minutes and the woman who was pushing our boat motioned us to take our shoes off. We wondered why, 
until we heard running water. Soon enough, we came to a place where people were on floating rafts ready to take our picture. We weren’t expecting it and it was a shock when we went down a small drop. That was one of the many rapids. I came to like them and was happy when we would 
go down another one. We also had a few parts when we came to a mud wall. When we came to those places, we got out and our punters hauled the boats up. It again was a shock when we teetered over a drop of about six feet. The punters would jump on the boat right as it was going down. The ride had beautiful scenery. The mountains were close by and the water was crystal clear. 
After the ride, we went and saw the Big Banyan Tree. It is what it sounds like, a banyan tree which is huge. The rocks in the foreground are about as big as a person. 
Right next to it was a small part of the river blocked off for people trying to punt. We tried it and it was not easy. It made us appreciate what the people had to do in our boat ride for two hours. Our hotel is in a little village and so we walked around it. There were many little stands and booths of things to buy. The sun was going down and so we went back. Tomorrow we’re going to go shopping on a popular tourist street, West Street.
