We had breakfast again at the hostel, still not convinced. The bikes they have don't have any change and we go somewhere else to get them. They rent us some that are quite good with change, they are for a ride but the tires are quite thick.
It's raining at dawn. Actually, it's been raining all night. We have breakfast at the Guest, we don't like it much.
Today we go to Angkor, we want to do the tour of the main temples by bike and the rest tomorrow by tuk tuk, but as it doesn't stop raining we do it the other way around. The guy who works at the Guest takes us for $8.
We get up at dawn, there is only one local bus that takes us to Pakse. Supposedly it leaves at 6.30 and we're at the "glorieta".
Champasak
We're woken up by music and people talking on loudspeakers. In this area they wake up at six in the morning with energy. But the worst thing is not that it wakes you up but that it lasts an hour!
We all had breakfast together in our Guest by the Mekong, said goodbye. We go right to the money and change in an exchange house.
Today we rent bikes to tour the island. After a quiet breakfast at the Guest, we rented five bikes for you.
Bridge to Don Khon
We're leaving in a van with the same agency as the elephants. The van ends its journey in Nakasang. The trip is good, the roads are quite good. Everything is very flat.
We arrive at Ban Nakasang and buy tickets for Champasak for the 23rd and the tickets for the boat to Don Det, one of the islands in the area known as Si Phan Don or 4,000 islands.
It's dawn, the driver wakes us up and tells us we can go. We take a tuk tuk and go downtown. We see the monks again in procession begging.
Tak Bat in Pakse
We woke up determined to go to Tham Kong Lo. Although they try to convince us otherwise and we bought a VIP bus to Tha Khaek, why? We had to try.
We bought something to eat, a grapefruit with a bag of spicy, curious but tasty.
Our van leaves at 9:30 a.m. It's full of locals, there's overbooking. So we get approached by another agency on a motorcycle with our backpacks on.
