By We: Tuesday, 25.12.2012 a nice Christmas day, working on the homepage, answering Emails, talking with Bettina and Rolf and enjoying the nice and warm weather. Towards the evening we got a visit from the local police who enquired about what we are doing and where we are coming from and where we are going to. Some discussions and some telephone calls, and after half an hour and writing down all our personal data all was done and clear.
Wednesday, 26.12.2012 we had booked a boat trip to the Khon island to visit the waterfall and other sights there. The trip took us the whole day since the time on the boat was about twice 2 hours, down and up the Mekong. At the Khon island we walked to the waterfall. There are actually many falls, because the Mekong splashes down the rocks over a width of a few kilometers between many smaller and larger islands. It was a 2 x 2 kilometers walk and sitting on the waterfall was nice. After some drinks we headed back up the Mekong to get back to Don Kong. In the evening/night we updated the homepage. Very good weather.
