day 215, Don Det

Had the intention of getting a bike and actually seeing the other island though that idea drifted away due to the heat and general laziness. Again we ended up at the bar just to chill out, played some pool and read more of my book which I’m really enjoying. Went for a dip in the water before being attacked by the local young children playing which was great fun, growling and chasing each other before being force fed sand and showing them how to make sandcastles.  Once they tired us out we went to the sunset bar to watch the fabulous sunset , bloody gorgeous, before showering and going to an Indian for food which was marvellous. We then went to the pai in lao bar where we drank some more and played poker which was really good fun, I came an aggressive second to Deem who walked away with a wad of money (we had each collected as much as possible in 1000kip notes, so he walked away with a ball money the size of his fist, we didn‘t really think it through) before that bar closing and going to the beach to drink, where we had another dip and sitting around enjoying ourselves.
