Day 2 – Ume River

Saturday 4th November 2000

Please don’t forget to wait for the photos to load. They could take a while as there are a lot of them.

 

We left Sampakuruma at 5am (some of us still asleep), for the Ume River. The sky was clear and bright, and it was stinking hot by 8 am. We arrived at the Ume River mouth at 10.30 am, and the Captain found a small bay off the main river, to moor in. We spent the day relaxing, fishing & game viewing. It was wonderful. I have never seen so many fish eagles in my life ! Nightfall brought the mosquitoes, hence the name “Mosquito Bay”. We made up our minds to move the following day !
