Mekong cruising

Bus ride through the countryside to our cruise departure really interesting. Lots of sights to see on the way. They love their beer here - best for the heat!! And obviously no sailing on the lake. 😘😮

The trip took us 5 hours with typical tourist rest stops and fortunately no squat loos. Lol

After ‘settling in we were off on a tuk tuk ride to a local island village which has only just recently got an all weather bridge. Previously a bamboo brigade for the dry periods. Looking at water marks on another bridge and how high off the ground the houses are... think the river could come up more that 5m in the monsoon season. Fortunately only a few spots of rain for is so far. We do have ponchos and umbrellas.
