| We caught buses and boats of various sizes on the way. The buses were just a dual cab utes with rows of seats on the back. On one trip there were 32 of us on the back and our boys had to stand on the back bumper and hang on to the roof for the 3 hour trip. A couple of Monks and about 10 other people had the cab seats. Of course the rain came as it is monsoon season so my mates got their clothes washed for free. First we stopped at Champasak which was just a small village and we were just about the only tourists there so had a few nice quiet days bicycling around through the paddy fields and some old Khmer ruins. Very heavy rain fell mostly in the evenings but it did not interfere with our cards games. Every traveler has a pack of cards and I am getting people to write their names on mine when they get used. Megan's great idea. |
