Fun on the sand bank

I am slowly getting into the slow pace of weekends in Laos. After months of renovating every weekend, working, and trying to get ready to come over here, the idea of a lazy weekend felt like a distant dream. However, i am happy to report, they have arrived!

Last weekend we took a couple of bike rides, one of which, was down to the sand bank. As we come to the end of the dry season the Mekong river is at its lowest. And with that it is possible to get down onto the banks of the river and the Don Chan island/ sand bar.

We had a great time running around in the sand, making friends with locals, and watching the sunset. We even dipped our feet into the river.
