After our bike ride we took a river boat ride on a "bamboo" raft. It wasn't really bamboo but was made the same way. It was made out of large PVC pipes instead. The scenery was amazing. We just wish it was a clearer day for pictures. The pictures just don't really capture the real beauty of it all.
This is a shot of the same mountains and river that are on the 20 Yuan bill. A lady pointed this out to us and let us borrow the money for out picture. We never knew.
After a short electric taxi ride we arrived at the boat ramp. Not really a ramp but more a wall that we jumped off of onto a boat. As we road the taxi the lady that was taking us there had a large oil bottle that we thought was filled with oil. I kept thinking how strange it was that she was carrying this bottle around. When we got to the boats we realized that it was a bottle of gasoline. I guess it was a bring your own gas deal.
