Canoe or Kayak?

Woman fishing in the river. Her daughter just dove under with a net, camera shy or hard worker?!

Very lush and green

Me taking over the paddle- hah!

The other boat

Canoing down the river in Khao Sok park sounded like great fun and exercise so a San Francisoite friend, Drea and I decided to sign up. We got to the river with our 'guide' waiting for us and one kayak paddle in a canoe type vessel.

We were told we get to 'relax' (like I haven't done enough of that) and take pictures on the trip down the river, that sucked! So after we got on our way I nicely asked our guide if I could paddle. He laughed and handed me the paddle and then was shocked I could paddle so well and so strong but he still felt the need to paddle with his hands and arms.

All in all was a fun and scenic trip, saw various birds including the kingfisher and some lizards too.
