Kratie and surrounding areas by bike

Today was a fun but hectic day. We decides that we would ride bikes which may have been the wrong choice. Not that the ride was far we probably only did 40km today but the bikes were not the best bikes in the world. We definitely did what we wanted to and more. We saw the fresh water dolphins of the Mekong. It was cool to see them. We went to the rapids area where we were charges .12 to enter. It's an area that crosses the Mekong with floating bungalows where tons of hammocks are hung up everywhere. We passed all of that and crossed over to a couple islands. It was kind of fun fording the Mekong and playing around.

Interesting Buddhist mural. 







We made friends with a Monk at a wat up in the mountains that had a cool view of the river and the surrounding valley. There we also saw a bunch of monkey's attack a dog. It was pretty vicious. 

When we finished looking for dolphins we had some cambodian guys ask us to come party with then. They tried to give us beers but we just danced in their makeshift dancefloor. It was a tarp. It was really pretty fun actually. They really enjoyed watching some white guys trying to dance. 

All in all it was a really full but fun day.
