Paradise in Laos!
After 10 grueling hours of travel along dusty roads in remote parts of Cambodia and Laos, we checked into a hut ($26) with a view of the Mekong River – pure paradise! We had a hot meal on the Mekong and hit the hay at 7:30 PM.

Exploring Don Khon/Don Det
The day started with 2 Advil, a shot if DayQuil and my first dose of Cipro. Not sure if was my first Lao meal or a bug I caught on the plane a week ago getting worse, but I was definitely did not feel a 100%. But that did not deter me from exploring Don Khon & Don Det.

We rented bikes for the day ($1) and peddled through rice paddies, water buffalo, farmers and swaying palm trees. We ended the day on the “sunset” side of Don Det for a beer.
