Last night we met some French guys also at our guesthouse, and after a very slow morning (including breakfast gazing across into Laos) we set off out with them for lunch at a small road side restaurant. 
We also managed a stroll a few kilometres out of town to investigate hiring a few kayaks to float down the Mekong. Unfortunately this was far out of reach of our backpacker's budget, so we settled for a slow amble back along the riverside instead. 
Along the way the boys stopped off to play in the river with a group of young kids doing all manner of kids' stuff like having backflip competitions and shoulder fights.
Oh what a good excuse to act like a kid for a few hours (though, really, when does Adam ever need an excuse?!). 
The kids really enjoyed having the farang ("westerners") there (and seeing themselves on the camera), but after an hour or so they were summoned home by mum. 
On the way back the boys came across some young monks, who after swimming left their orange robes drying in the sun while they snuck off into the bushes to sneak a cigarette!!
We spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying fresh fruit, icecreams, cold beers, and watching one of the most stunning sunsets we've seen on this Adlibing tour so far.
Pretty cool that we got to watch the sun set over 2 countries at the same time!!
Adlibing it slowly.
