day 28 ....... the deliverance

suiting up for our adventure down river

utterly exhausted... guess who did all the rowing

the locals watched with mixed emotions

...SOME boats no lights or motor cars, not a single luxury

unfolding our lunch

by far the best food in all of laos... biodegradable to boot

the children danced for rain and rain it did.

day 27 ....... blue lagoon

biking over the nam kham river to catch a tuk

a view back

base of the kuang si falls

hiking to the upper terrace

smaller pools at the base of falls... lush greens and vivid blues

at the water's edge

rinsing off before the decent back down

back along Mekong river

with sunset views

night falls on our bridge over the nam kham
