We traveled to Slave River on our 8th day. Although the mood was very calm and relaxed mentally it was taxing. The story of the slave's journey as captives was one I had never heard. They would walk from inland for hundreds of miles until that came to this river where their captors would bathe them. They would throw the weak ones into these bamboo trees and use palm oil to shine the strong slaves' skin. The river served as their last bath for sometimes 3-4 months.
