are flat, because the rivers here can get mighty shallow at times, and also to
allow the boat to be easily punted. (They come with a quiet outboard motor

of the Kavanar river at a scorching 6 miles an hour. It would be a fight to keep

surprisingly loud over the waters.Overnight stay at the resort.
