Following the River

For most of the trip we have followed the Mekong River and today was a continuation of that plan. After leaving Wat Phu we drove three hours to get to Don Khong Island. It is a rustic little island that appears to be very laid back and quiet. Very rural.

We didn't do much other than go for a stroll and have supper at the hotel restaurant overlooking the Mekong River.  Our hotel rooms are almost right on the Mekong....very nice.

The drive to the island was a little excursion in its on right. Buses overloaded with passengers, kids selling mushrooms on the side of the road and cows taking a nap in the centre of the road...missed that photo op. All of this right in the middle of numerous rice paddies. A good day!
