December 2005 trip
Most of the riverside is mud and a bit of plants - the floods clear it all out, and there's no garbage system or sanitation, beyond two public toilets for pay further down the road. The place smells pretty bad, and it's dusty and grimy, but you get used to it fast. One of the little shacks just behind the laundry is a sort of coffeshop with iced drinks and snacks.
