Laos, 4000 Islands





Who knew that a country with out any ocean surrounding it would have so many islands. The Mekong river is so big that there are tons of islands in the south. So chilled out, primative, They just got electricity in Nov. 09

Five relaxing days to take it easy before we come back home and get back to work on Mar. 1
Day 1 Boat tour down the Mekong to the waterfalls and see the dolphines.
Day 2 Pedal biking throught the countryside experiencing the life of the locals. In most places most still have to go to the well everyday for there water, and still using fires and candles to see at night.
Day 3 5 hours of Whitewater Kayaking through the rapids and along the river through Laos and into Cambodia. Close up and personal with the dolphines, and a trip to the biggest waterfalls in Asia.
Other then that we were lying in a hammock reading a good book, or sitting on the beach by the fire drinking the local whiskey. 1 big 26 oz. bottle for $1.15 Canadian.
