A day of transition
Left Vientiane, Laos about 8:30PM Monday on a sleeper bus. Thought G and I would have a berth together. Unfortunately the "bus monitor" thought otherwise. He put a Laotian lady with G and moved me with K. We survived. Got into Pakse about 6:30AM the next day. Immediately took a tuk tuk to the south bus station where we got tickets on a minibus the …

Het gezin bestaat uit opa en oma en twee kleine kinderen van 7 en 2 jaar oud. Naar later blijkt zijn deze twee kinderen van hun dochter, die ver weg werkt. De communicatie is lastig.

Reviewed Apr 5, 2011
Nice bungalow floating on the Mekong. AC, hot water, internet and best of all, a peaceful setting. A great value. Staying three nights. We would stay here again.
