A small detour on the way to Siem Reap brought us to Kratie. The highlight of a trip to the area is a visit to see the Irrawaddy dolphins on the Mekong river. There are less than 100 dolphins left but 15 kilometres from town at Kampi they are always there to be seen. They don't come close to the boat though so the pictures are excusably poor. We spent a relaxing hour drifting in the river with occasional sightings.
For the dolphin visit we once again hired motorbikes, and for the first time there weren't any automatic ones available. So we've now mastered gears, not really too complicated as it turns out.
There was much debate about what to do next, continue up to the north east provinces or to Siem Reap for the Angkor temples. Tom is still grumbling a bit about the decision.
