The Ferry (which spared us the 7hr detour)

This was the second time we saw this ferry. The first time we were told it wouldn't hold our truck, as the ferry would likely tip over. At the start of our 7hr detour a man told me I was lied too and the ferry would really take us accross but that we needed to get a letter of permission from the man who was in charge of the ferry. This we did, only wasting 1hr on the trip to the man's office (instead of 7). So the second time we arrived at the ferry and handed over the letter of permission, all the ferry men got excited and promptly polled us accross.



Our truck on the ferry was a tight fit, but we didn't tip over.


All the ferry men, including one guard who toted his AK47 all the way, used poles to push us through the swampy flooded forest.
