Since I don't have the chance to go kayaking this trip, I decided to try the boat ride across the river. Despite the haze, my colleague and I went straight for the boat after the training. It was exciting. Both of us looked like a real 'jakun' especially the lady with the camera snapping at everything hehehe...
We're not wearing any life jacket and it felt so near to the water. The boat rocked hard as more and more people get into the boat. I looked at my colleague looking a bit panic. Of course nothing happened and I started to relax as we started moving.
We went for a stroll once we reached the other side of the bank and planned to reach our hotel about 15 minutes before the breaking of fast. We were waiting patiently for any boat to bring us back to the hotel side. Unfortunately, there were no boats coming our way and this uncle (photo below) said he is not taking any passengers any more since it was near to buka puasa time.
Oh oh... My colleague suggested swimming across which was not very funny.
Then there was one uncle going to his boat. We asked if he can send us to the other side and he jokingly said, "esok boleh lah". Why do suddenly everyone wants to be funny? Finally, a boat came. Thank God! We reached the hotel just in time for the breaking of fast.
