Cruising the Meghna River on a Fishing Boat























Through the hotel's recommended travel agency (Bangladesh Expeditions "An Expedition With Us. An Experience Forever..." which has offices in Dhaka and Paris of all places) I booked a day-long tour that included a cruise on the Meghna River aboard a wooden fishing boat and a visit to the original Sonargaon, the ancient capital of Bangladesh. Lunch included!
It was hot hot hot, even on the river and I could understand why everyone along the banks was in the water if they weren't working in the fields harvesting rice. Everyone on the river was happy to see a foreigner, they waved like crazy and the kids would splash around showing off in the river.
