Kayak Trip Day 2 - Crap in the bushes

Day 2 was just as relaxing as Day 1.  I did get the shits though!  This was the first time during my travels that I had diarrhoeal.  I was hoping to escape it.


Sitting in my kayak, upstream from our party, I was drifting and relaxing when all of a sudden my stomach turned upside down in my abdomen.  Not having time to yell to the others I rushed to the bank just in time to releave myself.  I was very embarrassed and coy when I later joined the group.  They were all patiently waiting for me to do my business and quite understanding.


After lunch Richard and I swapped kayaks.  I joined Caro in the back of the double.  The difference in handling was immediately noticeable.  I had to adjust quickly as there were a few rapids along the way.


That afternoon we arrived at Hat Kho (I think), a substantially larger village and not isolated like the village the day before.  We enjoyed playing games and chatting over a few beers.
