Before we left Saumlaki we had another tour by Bemo to a village named Sanglia Dol that has a boat that is made from stone and is very old. First though we stopped a road side stall to buy a plastic bag of sopi for the village chief. After about an hour we arrived at the village. There is around 500 people that live here and after our meeting with the chief we went to the boat.

You don't get a sense of it from the photo but looking down the massive stone staircase that leads from the beach to the ceremonial boat you can image this would have been an important place for the people at that time.
