Done Khong, Laos

Spent most of today cycling around this rather large island.  Two main observations.  Only 5% of cats here have a whole tail; 50% no tail at all; the rest somewhere in between.  Secondly none of the bikes have any brakes.
Had two of the best dishes I have had in Laos in the last couple of days - Me Kong river fish soup and chicken curry soup with potatoes.  Off to Don Kone in the morning
