We arrived into Pakse without a hitch at 6 in da morn. No one really knew exactly how to get to Don Det in the 4,000 islands except for one guy who had been there once before. We followed his lead and first got into a 10 min tuk-tuk to a bus station. And then from the bus station another tuk-tuk (one with two benches down the bed of the truck and one bench in the middle). This truck would be crammed to the brink with travellers and Laotians. Right when I thought we could not pick up any more passengers, more would hop on. I counted at one time almost 30 passengers. A few were even sitting on the roof!
