Pomeroon February 1st & February 2nd

My ride...to Adel's



Life on the river: a stop for a "fill up" at the gas station before heading down the river...


Adel's



No speed limit or speed bumps on this 'side street'


Adel's

This luscious red fruit is poisonous!


Adel's

Off to school and work on creek that flows past Adel's

My new buddy, Basil, Adel's resident monkey.

Fruit in all shapes and sizes: all sweet, juicy and delicious 

Two more new friends, Chip and Deliah


Cars and huge transporter trucks line up to back onto the ferry 

Took the ferry - MV Sabanto from Supenaam back to Parika. Took just over an hour and was much more leisurely and scenic than the speedboat.


Sharing the mighty Essequibo with a 'sail fisherman'



Yet another new buddy... He walked around on deck as if he was a regular passenger 


When the Malali came into sight, all the children on board ran out on deck to see it and chant, "MV Malali!"... My sister and I did the same when we were children... This well maintained vessel was launched in the early 1960's!
