Don Det to Champasak

I got up this morning to watch the sun rise at 0500.  I was awake anyway so I figured I might as well since one of the guys said it was quite beautiful.

Jai was right it was well worth getting up to see.  I must admit I did go back to bed for a few hours afterwards.  Still watching the sun rise over the river, the fisherman push their boats out to try their luck, the animals heading down to the waters edge to drink and play was relaxing in it’s own way.

After checking out about 1100 hours we headed down to where the boats land.

The brief ride in the boat was over quite easily and was quite uneventful.  A minibus took us a couple of hours down the road where we caught a ferry across the river. 

By ferry I mean 3 boats covered by a decking.  The contraption even carries cars!

We stayed in the first guesthouse we came across.  Thankfully a good one with clean rooms and hot water.  My bathroom even steamed up for the very first time.
