Easy Rider Day 2: Tropical thunderstorm

The night chased away the loneliness and day two starts in high spirits.
We go into Lac Lake village to meet more ethnic minorities. Well, we actually invade their space shamelessly. Mr. Su is quite a character, far from shy I'd say. He walks through their backyards like he owns the place, ordering them around and explaining to me what they are doing. He also tries to hook me up with any single girl we meet. He knows I have Immy, but I guess he sees anyone who is not married as single.
This morning felt quite special, all these people were very welcoming and warm, I really got an idea how they live.

90 years young

Making some sort of rice wine (agriculture lesson 14)

Girl talk (and correct Gerry, the one on the right is the single one)

*Please go away scary man* thinks the little girl

Elephant ride, you can’t live without.

Now you might think, pfff an elephant ride, been there, done it.

But did your elephant also swim across a lake? Well mine did, much to my astonishment (I nearly jumped off).

*land ahoi*

Time to head further north

We reach the Dry Nur waterfalls during a heavy heavy rain session. Su stays behind with warm soup and coffee while I fight the elements.

It is a bit like Mario Brothers... first you have to cross this bridge with a few loose planks before you get any goodies.

But I lived to tell the story...

It is a powerful sight.

While some people are having coffee (Su), and others pretend they're working (yes you!), I am getting completely soaked by some tropical thunderstorm

Enough adventure for one day, we rush for our end destination Dac Lac, where we have BBQed goat for dinner. Funny detail is that this restaurant only serves goat (BBQ goat, fried goat, boiled goat, goat pie, goat juice, I think you get the idea), and nothing else not even rice.

Hot pot goat, not bad at all
