The lake just behind the hut where we slept - idyllic!
The lake again, with some of the local pot-bellied pigs
Looking across to the hill where Bao Dai, the last...
The platform - pulpit? in the middle of the village...
Looking across the village the other way
The long house where we slept, with Wing's and Ted's...
The stairs to our bedroom
Our accommodation: our mattresses were the pair in...
The steps to another long house - his and hers
Back to the lake for another look
Ted samples some rice wine with the locals
Nice bit of basket work, but sadly we can't remember...
Puppies and piglets
Keeping the children under control
The grown-ups
Out for a feed
Next morning, a lone rider sets out
Bicycles in transit
Suddenly we see these three coming towards us...
...and coming ashore - note Junior on the middle one...
They come up into the village
One of the elephants being prepared for the howdah
So that's what that platform is for!
Full frontal
Cattle coming through
Back across the lake from the road up to Bao Dai's...
A tiny makeshift roadside shrine
Approaching the lodge
