A travel moment: A delightful boat trip story.

Peace be upon all. Today I am here with you with one of my travel moments. It was a moment to spend an entire day on a boat. I have already published a large travel diary, but here is an opportunity to present a detailed and pictorial account of the travel experience. So I would like to share with you today one of my happy travel stories. Let's get started.

We started early in the morning. Our journey had a long schedule. We first hired a boat.After renting the boat I set off for a trip with our companions. We started our journey by looking at the riverside greenery and rural lifestyle.

We started the journey to appreciate the quality of life along the river. The time started with a great feeling. I started enjoying this journey right from the moment. The river I was traveling on was one of the biggest rivers in Bangladesh. The river is located ten kilometers from my house in Sirajganj district.

I started the journey with my companions in the boat. It was a big boat. The capacity of the boat was about 200 people but only twenty of us boarded here. It was nice to sail with a small number of people in a very big boat.

As we continued we fell into a large river. After coming to the big river I couldn't find any cool edge. Its breadth was so great that I came upon an ocean. I looked around me and couldn't find the edge at all. I was a bit apprehensive at the time though there was no accident. I was afraid of such a place as a shipwreck. Because many of us here don't know how to swim.

I was fascinated by the beauty of the borderless river, but the fear of sinking the boat did not leave my mind. I was continuing my journey. Everyone had a great time on the boat. I marveled at the vastness of the river. The sky was not very good that day. Because the sky was completely white maybe some natural reason.

I was missing the beauty of the white clouds in the sky. Or light sun and white clouds would have helped to make the photos of my travel moments more beautiful. I wasn't too happy with my photography, as the atmosphere was gloomy that day. So the pictures didn't look very funny. Anyway it's interesting that I managed to complete the trip.

We found a bank nearby from the big river. At that time we took a break in the boat ride there. The boat pulled up to a bank where we decided to have lunch. Because now we were all hungry. We took all the lunch equipment from the boat. There was sufficient mineral water and sufficient food. At the end of the meal our boatman's helper gave us much pleasure.

I was impressed by his activities. I saw him as an expert in smoking. At a very young age I did not like smoking at all. But he is so expert at smoking that a grown man would lose to him. Anyway I was surprised to really understand how such a situation works. I really enjoyed his cigarette smoking moment. He stopped breathing and kept all the smoke inside his stomach. These activities really surprised me.

We started the boat journey again. At that time I enjoyed all the views of the river from the boat.The course of the river was against us. The course of the river against us has a very adverse effect.The reverse flow of the river slowed down our boat. I was quite annoyed at this point. Anyway I captured a lot of pictures of this slow moving moment from the boat. The images are mentioned below.

The boat was moving at its steady pace. I was occupying a seat at the back of the boat. I was observing the operation of the engine in the water from the work of the Pechle engine. Water was being cut by a fan operated by the boat. And so the boat was moving. This rotating fan by the generator played a major role in keeping the boat running.

As I enjoyed my trip, I noticed many more trips. I have seen some boats where many boats have brought tours. Their trips may be one that I have taken. Anyway I will present their boat trips with you through photography from my boat. Check out some more tourists on different boats mentioned below.

I noticed quite a commotion in a big boat. There was no silence between them. I am enjoying their traveling moments. The boat was full of people. I enjoyed this moment immensely. They were all standing up and dancing to some English song. I am enjoying their moment from afar.

I enjoyed the journey of others more than my own. They were spending such moments with great joy. I turned my attention back to photography. Although the atmosphere is gloomy, I could not pass the time without photography. So notice some more photography below. These were captured as they arrived.

I noticed a big factory for extracting sand. It is a mobile sand extraction plant. This work is done with a huge shipyard. This factory roams the river and hardens the river bank by extracting sand from deep in the river. So they may have got official approval for sand mining.

We have reached our destination. Our destination was Yamuna Bridge. Our activity at Yamuna bridge was not just to travel up the big river and come back to the shore. Anyway I took a selfie after reaching Yamuna Bridge.

As this bridge is for the crossing of people from north and south border. So there is continuous traffic here. Walking or standing on this bridge is prohibited to avoid accidents. So we had to enjoy the bridge from the boat. I enjoyed it with pleasure. The moment was so blissful that I failed to express it through my writing.

Finally I went to the head of the boat and captured some pictures of the bridge. The blissful moment existed in the boat, and the lush nature around and the vastness of the river gave me great joy during the boat ride.

After reaching our destination, it was time to return home. Because we will be back to the river bank before evening. Because of which I now began to hurry back to our shore without further delay.

Thus I spent a pleasant journey. The time was very happy although the atmosphere was not so bright. But through the boat trip I got to understand the lifestyle of some people. Ending here as of today. Thank you very much for reading my post.
