BOAT RIDE UP THE MEKONG

We paid a local fisherman to cruise us up the Mekong River in the small boat to the right of us. His wife and three children also lived on the boat. Our taxi driver tried to talk us out of the small boat ride and steer us towards the larger tourist boats...I am definately not one for doing the usual tourist thing. The small fishing boat was a blast! We cruised through small floating villages and just floated around on the several occasions that the engine quit.
