Floating Market and Way Back to Dhaka

As our time in Bangladesh was coming to an end, it would be ever so fitting to spend most of our last day on the water, as this country does have over 700 rivers .

We got up early and made our way a couple hours to a floating market in which local farmers jump in their boats and sell whatever fruits and vegetables they have.  This was an experience as I have been to other floating markets, but most of these are very touristy with people trying to sell you all of their items.  Besides the fruits and vegetables, we spent the morning at the boat making market in which we saw excellent craftsmanship and most of the boats cost as little as 20 USD!!!! 

We spend the rest of the morning going up and down the canals and tributaries to check out the way people live as well as some of the pottery and shelves they make to be sold around the country.  It seems that every family has a part in selling an item and they work hard every day in the sweltering heat and humidity to do this.

At last we jumped on our six hour ferry back to Dhaka, not before we were able to snap off a few last pics of the beautiful landscape as well as a better than average sunset…….
