Ratanakiri

First of all let me apologize because it will be a lot of words and no pictures: I didn't take my camera with me (two heavy and the weather is so humid now I was afraid I would hae to lose too much time protecting it from the rain).

Itinerary was: Phnom Penh - Kratie - Stung Treng - Banlung.

Kratie: Irrawady dolphins, beautiful Mekong scenery, depressing town.
Stung Treng: depressing town, nice encounter with NGO workers in the evening.
Banlung: nice town, wonderful hotel, (a little bit) adventurous excursions to the surrounding villages and natural sites.
