Village on the Delta

We had left our truck in this village where we picked up our 4WD vehicles. When we were back and loading up the truck we saw these kids playing with a ball made of paper and tape. I had this rubber ball that I had got at a rubber plantation. It was made from pure latex and bounced almost as good as a super ball so left it with them as they were having such great fun with it.

This guy popped up right in front of us and as my guide polled us backwards several more popped up. They were quite vocal, as the guide explained they are very territorial and you don't want to cross them. Our dugouts would be just toys to them.

They don't paddle the dugouts, they pole them through the channels and weeds. The heavily loaded dugouts only had a few inches above the waterline but all made it without tipping. I guess sometimes they do go over and you always worry about the cameras which you definitely want out as you never know what you will see.

Hey this isn't hard, until you tipover
