331: SEARCHING FOR DOLPHINS

Looking for Irrawaddy freshwater dolphins on the Mekong River by Kratie. It was successful but not satisfying, since the dolphins didn't come very close to our boats.

The boat launch was about half an hour away from the town, so we hopped on the back of some motorbikes and zoomed off along the countryside to get to the dolphins. The moto ride was fun - I loved passing the oxen on the street and all the children waving hello at us.
