Hi. What I meant to say was, without the cruisers there wouldn't be much income in Pak Beng.
First image is bags of oranges coming aboard from another boat. There were some mattresses passed over too.
Another shot looking foward.
Getting on board. I wouldn't want to try in the rain!
There was a mirror for beauty adjustments. The reflection is the snack lady.
In summation. This was a wonderful cruise. The scenery was breathtaking. But it was fatiguing. The boat was full. You couldn't move around much. Most of the seating was wooden bench. Cushions were sold. There were some soft car minivan type seats. I suspect, they had been removed from crashed vehicles.
I met some really nice people, and have been running into them here in Luang Prabang. I was going to take a bus to the east to see the caves where the Pathet Lao lived to avoid American bombs. It's an overnight bus that leaves LP at 5 P.M. and gets to Vieng Xai 'late the next afternoon'. The seats recline 'a little bit'. I think I'll chill here an extra couple of days and go straight to the Plain of Jars.
I hope you enjoyed this series.
Bye for now, Doahlah
