I often think that people in poor countries wear rags but that seldom seems to be the case.<br /><br />I suppose it would be impossible for the boat you're on to carry all the water needed so they wouldn't have to depend on the river. Thank God the maiden voyage proved the water filtering system to be working effectively. Or was it? Have you been to the doctor or are you feeling normal again?

THEN you advise us that your ship has a water treatment plant and I said wonderful BUT keep drinking all that Kinley (Coca Cola) bottled water. I like the Kinley brand of water and the quality of the plastic bottles it is bottled in. So HAPPY at the end you DID state that among other things in the river are human and animal corpses! Many of the photos are identical to those scenes you view from trains in India. People out watching the train pass by knowing that probably they themselves will never ride a train. Even more pertinent to a luxury ship that you were on since I MYSELF will probably never sail on such a fine water vehicle. I am enjoying my 93 square foot studio in Hong Kong thinking about you and about your large (up to 260 square feet) rooms. I am loving seeing India through your eyes.<br /><br />Cap from Hong Kong and Patti wishing she was with me in Hong Kong (me too) .. <br /><br />Caphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365904390796791255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029159028015312900.post-21522179498180176452015-02-06T17:10:59.356-09:002015-02-06T17:10:59.356-09:00The Delta near San Francisco Bay has the same prob...The Delta near San Francisco Bay has the same problem with the hyacinth.

Glad you are not drinking the "treated water" ... Cap also makes it a rule in India to NOT bathe above the neck with other than bottled water. He got an eye infection on his first trip in 1990 and it still flares up. Thanks for another day in India... Patti and CapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
