Betty’s Boat Trip

You will be pleased to know that there aren’t many words to this entry, let the pictures do the talking. We love Betty’s boat trip and tried very hard to do a trip that we hadn’t done before without success. They cancelled on us twice so it was our old trip or nothing. Even though we have done this trip about 6 or 7 times now, we never tire of it. If you are ever here make it a top priority as iy is a real highlight and is worth every rupee.






















It looks like Betty’s have built another bar type restaurant close to the river; don’t know if it is being used yet. We saw dolphins as soon as we left the river mouth but they are hard to catch on film. I always take this shot of the corner.












You see plenty of birds on the way up the river after the dolphin hunt and if the fisherman on this boat had kept one more fish, I think they would have sank. Lucky for the others I caught a nice big fish for lunch.


















Goa is not known for its backwaters but they are spectacular and constantly changing. Silt builds up in the shadow of islands and on corners eventually becoming land. These people looked like they were trying to cross on such a bank but we were told that they were catching clams.



























A kingfisher just before it caught a big fish, fruit bats in a tree and some old bird drinking a kingfisher.



























Not sure which one of these had their hat on upside down? My favorite shot of the day a cormorant catching the sun or wind with other big birds in the background. I take such good pictures sometimes! Can’t wait until the next trip.
