Today, we have been walking around Kratie finding information for our adventures.
We saw a really pretty temple being built and had a guided tour, possibly by one of the workmen.
Kratie is the beginning of the Mekong trail which allows access to many rural areas by bike. The only trouble being the distances in the blazing heat....Oh, and the cranky old bikes without spares! 30 or 40 mile would fairly easy at home on a reasonable bike but here in the intense heat and on rough tracks with possibly little shade .... more of a challenge! We may do some mini adventures instead and use parts of the trail!
This evening we discovered a map showing a homestay a little closer than we originally thought, so now it's time to replan.
