Green Canyon

Green Canyon is a river in the cave, very cool and the water color is green













Our first real adventure was to the Green Canyon - an unimaginatively named but extremely beautiful natural environment that we were fortunate to have to ourselves for an hour in the late morning.
The boat ride there reminded me of a Dolong River expedition straight out of Apocalypse Now! but without the machine guns, psychotic Colonels or vivid hallucinations. We wound our way through some truly wondrous jungle - rich in massive teak trees, palms, various hanging vinery and the shrill sounds of extensive birdlife. Almost unbelievably there was no rubbish visible at all.
Only the chug of the outrigger's engine and the a click of camera mechanisms reminded us that we hadn't stepped back in time to some prehistoric age.
