From the Ferry toilet. Bangladeshis call the river the Pod a- the Indian's call it the Gonga- don't know why we call it the Ganges. Every ferry and boat coming the other way was packed. Dhaka empties for the Muslim Eid festival, as people go back to their villages. So the Bedlam level (already high) goes up a few notches on all the roads coming out of Dhaka. Even though we were going the other way, the trip took us 5 and half hours instead of the normal 3 to 3 and a half.
The Ganges was wide and murky with a hazy sky. The bus drove straight onto the ferry.
