Rocket back to Dhaka

The "Rocket" evokes a bygone era. It is still a world where first, second and third class passengers are fully segregated, and first class comes complete with Steward.  One set of our tickets had the motto - "travel with a different" - and both our journeys on the river were indeed very different.  I wouldn't have missed either for the world.

We survived! an incredible trip, made possible by the generosity of spirit of Tarango, and enjoyable by travel companions who were so prepared to travel under basic circumstances rather than 5* tourism happily.
