After a good night's sleep, we were told to go to the top deck before we proceed for breakfast. We were supposed to pass the first gorge that morning. The thing is... the water level was supposed to be much much lower than now. But since they have increase the water level, you don't really feel like you are passing through a gorge. But overall, I can imagine how tall the mountains were as compared to now.
A picture of our cruiseship. We were on board of a smaller leisure boat which will bring us to see other parts of the river which our cruise ship is not able to access.
Here in this picture you can see 2 signboards. One showing 175metres while the other showing 150metres. By the end of this year, the level of the water in the river will rise to the first marking and will reach the second marking by 2008. Most plantations and people living below the 175Metre mark will be moved by then.This is a very nice place to visit so if you have the chance, do so quickly before everything is gone!
