In Barisal this time i stayed in the Athena Hotel, cleaner than the Hotel Ali International and only three minutes walk from the latter ! I went to different villages, first to Bolohar and Boliarkathi, small villages, tranquil and inviting. Then to Borakotha, another village and this time went by boat. To reach there we crossed the Sandha river (Sandha means evening : thanks Mahmud !) and went along a smaller river, the Chotolbari canal ! It was a very nice boat-trip and seeing life along the Chotolbari with people waving and smiling ... ! Just imagine ! Also visited
