Just before Christmas we took a trip across the river to the island of Baganara which is the most expensive resort in the country. We went for the day with some friends. Just to say that the soothing feel of luxury oozed gently across the island all day. The weather was perfect, the swimming excellent, the beach as good as the beaches in Barbados and the company convivial. Not what you might expect a volunteer to be able to afford or contemplate doing, but for £15 it was worth it. We even played cricked and my back foot play needs brushing up even though the hands were high and well placed!!! (my judgement!)
. My friend Asim and I enjoy a restful moment on the beach whilst Trudy has her photo taken with her new friend Brad, an American volunteer teacher from Dallas Texas , who is a great guy doing good work in the local secondary school.
The island is alive with over 160 species of birds and on our visit we saw a number of these species including 3 species of hummingbirds.All this and we were the only tourists on the island that day. There has to be some way of developing the eco-tourism in Guyana
