The trip to Kratie, a 6 hour minibus ride south from the Laos/Cambodia border, was fairly straightforward. The border crossing was remarkably easy, although the 'immigration' officers demonstrated excellent entrepreneurial skills: "If you want a stamp in your passport, pay me $1". Not much you can do, although the officer let me off as I had a beard - wierd.
Kratie lies along the Mekong River and the rare irawaddy dolphins are its main attraction. I took a boat out on the river just before sunset to catch a glimpse of them, and that is all I got, a glimpse. However, with the sunset, it made for an amazing site.
