    Don Det

    December 12, 2014 in Laos ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    After 3 days of extreme relaxing we did the complete opposite on our last day on the 4000 islands and went for a full day kayaking trip. Boy, we do feel that in our arms and shoulders today. The trip took us through braided parts of the Mekong - which were really fun to navigate through - to 2 waterfalls and a pool where we spotted the back of another dolphin for like 2 seconds. But the waterfalls were nice and the second one was especially impressive as it is the largest in Southeast Asia volume wise.

    We also want to talk about Mama Piang here, the best guesthouse owner we encountered so far. Funny, loud and with a big heart, she really made our stay on Don Det worthwhile! Everybody loves her and that's why we were a pretty big group enjoying evenings together at Mama Piang.

    Now we are in Pakse, a sleepy yet big city a bit up north. It is pretty chilly here, only like 22 degrees at night. The Laotians are already sporting their longsleeves.
