A day in Old Dhaka (3rd August)



What a lovely Bangladeshi day yesterday was!

I spent the day traipsing around Old Dhaka with housemate Lucy (Hopkins – a Perthy – Sarah Mills, you’re our sole Perth connection so far) and seeing some of the sights.

The highlight was a boat trip in a small local boat – which was the type of image I expected of Dhaka, and provided an insight into how Dhaka would have been in the “olden days”.

A perfect day was capped off by eating bruschetta and drinking wine in the coolness of our rooftop (it was a stinking hot day) while listening to music and looking out over our lake and mosque.

Bliss…
