Scenery has been much the same every day, a mix of bush and farm land. Weather has been hot and humid, temperatures in the thirties every day. Direct sunlight feels like it is scorching exposed skin... fortunately a bit of cloud has kept us a cooler some of the time. We have to get used to it as this is pretty much what it will be for the next six weeks.

| last night arriving on Khong island |
 |
| 'ferry' for bikes, scooters, and people to Khong Island... but things are changing... bridge being constructed behind |

| Golden Buddha across the river |
Tomorrow we get back on the ferry and continue travelling south along the Mekong. So tomorrow is farewell Laos and hello Cambodia.
