Bangladesh: Wrapping Up our Time in Cox's Bazar


The long drive back to Cox's Bazar from a day in Tecnaf did not offer much in terms of drive by shot opportunities. It was raining hard. Along the way, despite the drizzle, we stopped to look at a little waterall that the moonsoon has brought about.

My FIL was very happy, it was his first waterfall sighting. Then I remembered mine was at Yosemite. That people can sometimes go their whole lives without seeing a waterfall or the ocean. I felt lucky and blessed.

In this age of social media craziness, I was pretty sure these boys would end up putting this on facebook or something like that.

Amazing how close the sea is to the agricultural land.

Not too far from here we stopped to stretch our legs. It was another hour before we arrived at our destination. We found a solitary figure fishing.

The next morning after breakfast we were checking out and travelling 4 hours to Chittagong, where we would catch the train for a 6-hour trip back to Dhaka. Before breakfast my husband and in-laws took an early morning walk to the beach. I was already in the showers when they were going and so I decided to stay in and take pictures of street scenes from the balcony.

Then I spotted my family coming back to the hotel.

  1. Oh that is a fun post, am glad i got some info about Bangladesh. I've not been there and might not see it at all. I love that shot of the boat, but it is so scary. The Viking boat in the carnivals here looks like that, it does't have "katig" for balance. Am glad to see your husband, hehe!

  11. That was quite a sobering thought about some people never seeing the sea. You are so right many of us are very privileged to see some of the places we have visited or other places that bloggers like you show us.
