We are directed to a small bamboo hut with small, separated beds. They even have mosquito-nets out here. A woman brings us instant noodle soup, sticky rice and a few bottles of beer. About 20 small children, quite amuzed, watch us eating in the candlelight. We take our torches and go for a short walk.
Most villagers are busy inside their simple houses, preparing food.
I go back to write postcards. The view over the moonlit river is marvelous. It simply consists of a can Lao coffee, so I don't miss much. One hour later we are on the boat again. Six more hours to Pakbeng.
