Dolphin Watching

We went to go see river dolphins today! Technically they are called Irrawaddy river dolphins.

Rented bikes for about $1 for the entire day and had to ride across the entire island which was about 45 min bike ride. A guy got us on his boat for $10 and we rode out into the river. At first we didn't see anything for about 10 min and started getting discouraged. The driver moved a little bit and then we heard some clicks and the sound of dolphins shooting water out of their blow holes.
It was pretty cool seeing them but they were really far away, probably 300 yards from the boat. I snapped some cool pics.



I would definitely recommend seeing them around sunset, makes a huge difference in the scenery too but we had to rush back into town because it was getting dark fast.

We are leaving Laos tomorrow morning for Cambodia, it'll be a 14 hour bus ride across the border and into a town I don't know how to spell so it will be a while until I post something else.

Oh I almost forgot, it's christmas today! Totally didn't feel like christmas at all because it was about 85 all day and just seemed like a normal island day in Laos.
