Feb 18, 2006 - Belgara - longhouses

Next day we continued up the river. When we left were not sure how we would get out of there but decided to go anyway. Some very heavy rain in the afternoon - as is usual here. it is still very muggy, but I am handling it OK. Just need to find a boat to get cooled down!!! We passed many longhouses on the way up the river. Sat on the roof which was great. Belaga is a village of 3,500 people and we found a very helpful local who organised the next couple of days for us. Boat trip to 3 longhouses. As the name suggests they are many houses...
