Don Det

Today I took a mammoth bus ride to the southern tip of Laos and arrived in the afternoon in Si Phan Don - the "Four Thousand Islands" in the Mekong (there are in fact about three islands, but who's counting). I decided to stay on Don Det, a small island with only a few hours of generator-supplied electricity each evening and a wealth of bungalows, hammocks and lazy, lazy people. Highly recommended.
