Mekong River Day One: Tuesday 1st April

Today was boat day one. We went trough border immigration at Thailand and got our passports stamped before embarking on our beautiful boat. We would be spending most of the day on the Mekong River. It was a slow boat, letting us admire the mountainous region and greenery. We had unsurpassable views of the riverside villages and the tropical jungles.

We all had a communal stretch to straighten ourselves up after yesterday's long bus ride. Some of us girls got together and did our nails to neaten up and kill time. We were served a delicious hot fresh lunch on board too. Most of the afternoon involved view gazing, napping and reading. There was some excitement as some of the group spotted a dead body in the water. There was much speculation and our tour guide reassured us that the body would be found and buried.

Early evening we stopped over for our night's stay at the most beautiful little hotel overlooking the sea. Each room had a little balcony too. We checked in and headed out for dinner - out first Laon dinner. Everyone was in high spirits and we had so much fun together!
