The final chapter - Dolphins and Turtles

We headed east to Kratie, on the Mekong river, hoping to see the endangered Irrawaddy dolphin.
The first photo is not mine, but ut shows the dolphin.

We went on a day tour, part of which was a boat trip to see the dolphins.  
And yes, they do exist.
And yes, they are almost impossible to photograph.
But look closely at the picture below, and you will see one on the right hand side.
The Mekong is very wide, up towards the Lao border.
We also visited a turtle sanctuary, where they are hand rearing turtles and releasing them back into the wild (mekong river).  We only saw babies.

Hope you have been good.
We are staying in a guesthouse that is a training organisation.  Very pleasant here.
The holiday is coming to an end.  We have had a great time in Cambodia.
