Butterfly Park

After our swim, we headed to the nearby butterfly park where we had a very educational session with a volunteer who showed us the stages of a butterfly’s life cycle and helped us identify the species of butterflies we spotted. The biggest surprise for me was learning that some chrysalids looked metallic.

That evening, the five of us met for drinks. We closed down the bar - that’s not quite impressive as it seems, as bars close at 11pm. We then bought some more beers, found a table and chairs along the Mekong, and chatted some more. There was a lot of banter and I had a blast. I returned to find that my guesthouse gates locked. I climbed the fence - something I hadn’t done in decades!
