We were meant to spend 5 days paddling the Mekong River stopping in the afternoon to make camp and get some camps in, however on our 4th day of camp some local chinese police came and told us we couldn’t paddle any more. They wanted us to take out at camp. We layed over a day and did classes the next day while we worked out a deal with the police. For photo class we hiked up into the hills to a hotsprings and small monastery.

We walked through a lot of very unfertile, dry fields that the locals were laboring away in.

Prayer Statue and Monastery: ISO:200 F-stop:5.0 Shutter Speed:1/100
We came across this really cool prayer statue with the monastery in the background.
It was a really fun hike, and found out that we would be able to paddle down to an easier spot to take out the next day, which meant we missed a few miles of the Mekong, but wouldn’t have to take out in such a bad spot.
