Arrival at Sandar

We have arrived in Sandar which is a village that is close to the Vietnam border. This is the farthest south that we will go. After three days here, we will turn back north. As you can see from the pictures, the reception committee grew as we docked the ship. The river is about as high as it normally gets during raining season and you can see the problem we had here with the gangplank. But the crew came up with what you see in the last picture. So far, no one has had to use the life buoy! The kids always enjoy sitting on the gangplank and sometimes I have to play the bad guy and shoo them away. Especially when they start jumping on it! gail
