Majestic Mekong

During the most recent PEPY trip, we spent a incredible afternoon spotting the rare Irawaddy River Dolphin and bathing in the Mekong River just outside the town of Kratie. Fewer than 50 of these dolphins are thought to exist in Cambodia (and fewer than 300 in the whole world), but we managed to see a number of them as they broke the surface between our boats. Beautiful creatures, but it quite sad to consider the possiblity that there will be none left in 10 years.

After a refreshing dip in some powerful river rapids, we caught a most glorious sunset on the banks of the mighty river.
