We were up bright and early the next morning, but our guide took a little longer to get up. I think he was recovering from all the whisky he drank the night before. We played cards until breakfast was ready. Then we played more cards until our kayaking guide arrived. We spent the rest of the afternoon kayaking down the river back to Luang Prabang. It was a lot of fun, especially when we hit the rapids. By the end of the trip our arms we feeling pretty tired. We were so excited to get back to our guesthouse and take a shower. I’m not sure if I have ever smelled quite as bad as I did at the end of that trip. We showered, washed our clothes by hand, and then headed out to get a smoothie.
