Drifting down the auld river

This is great.
I'm currently staying in a Lao family home, after finishing din-dins. I can't really see what I'm writing, as the village here has no electricity.
We are travelling in a lake boat, of sorts,( or maybe you'd call it a tree trunk hollowed out, somewhere betwix the two.) down the length of the Namtha river. We've stopped here for the night as it's a two day drift. The river winds through the jungle and we've got two cool French friends I met to share the boat we hired.
This is the life.
I cant' see anymore, the candle we have is almost gone.

I've never seen so many stars, you can see the milky way.
