It was easy to find our guide at the port entrance. We were taken to the Chinese nets first because they only operate at high tide. Our guides explained the fishing nets and organised for those who were interested to have a go at raising the net. The trip to the houseboat pier takes between 1.5 and 2 hours. We had some explanation of the history of the area on the way there. There were 27 people on our tour and we were divided into two groups on two houseboats. There was plenty of room and seating. We were out on the backwaters for just under two hours. It was very interesting to see life along the backwaters. Lunch was served on board: rice, vegetables, a chicken curry and delicious fried whole fish. Plenty of food for all, but you eat with the plate on your lap, which worked OK. The trip back to port (again 1.5 to 2 hours) provided an opportunity for many to snooze. Those at the front could ask questions of the guides. It was a pity they didn't move around the bus. However, it was a highlight of my cruise and a different sort of shore excursion..
