KK day 3

Toilet at the train station. 20cents per entry. Just drop the coin into the tin. Everybody obliges. No one checks.


Train station at Beufort


Lady near the train station selling tobacco


The old town


Swallows outside the train station


First stop somewhere


More wayang-ing


The deflated rafts blocked the entrance. No one could get out, even in an emergency


Stop 2


Old cars


The river runs quick


nice scenery


Train schedule


a nice hill to trek


Ground level


It rained last night so the water level was high. More fun!


We went white water rafting but while in the raft, you cant hold on to a cam right? So I didnt get any photos of us in the raft heading downstream. But wait for the negatives to be developed and I can show some pics. We hired a photographer to take pics of us on the way down. Not ready yet so be patient.
