Lunch At Kymbu
After the boat trip, we went back into town and had lunch at Kymbu. It was a good day, and the patio was covered for us. I had a caprioska, and we had couvert. Couvert is the bread and bits they bring before the meal, sometimes before you order. In Angola, they charge you for it. Most other countries don't. The photo below is the couvert.
Andreas got the ham and cheese grilled sandwich. I got picanha again. Andreas also had teeny tiny hamburgers. Everything was good, and we went to Kero to get groceries on the way home. Lucky us, it poured while we were in the Kero. We got to drive home in the flooded streets.

More Rivering
Don't look for critters in the foliage. There are none. It's just the bank we bumped up against, with a few flowers. You can see some birds if you look closely in the other photos. The boat, by the way, was obviously cobbled together from several older boats. The pontoons didn't leak, but the engine did give out a few times. Did I mention there was no dock?

The Kwanza River
We took a ride up the Kwanza River, about an hour and a half south of Luanda, on the same day we visited Miradouro. The boat ride was about two and a half hours. We saw no wildlife outside of birds, lots of unnamed vegetation, and this bridge that was being worked on. It was, at least, a pretty day to be out - and the rain held off until we were back in town.
