Duizend bommen en granaten
... zien kinderen het gevaar niet en spelen er mee, vaak met desastreuse gevolgen. Op weg naar de waterval zagen we dus ook een afgezet veld waar men met metaaldetectors het gebied afspeurde en gevonden bommen markeerde met zandzakken. Dit is aan de orde van de dag, dus de bevolking kijkt er al niet meer van op. Kong bracht ons naar een veld waar we vanaf het busje de omgeving konden zien.

The waterfall was amazing, but too bad that it was too cold and too shallow to swim ...
Phonsavan: So what are these Plain of Jars???
... are so many mountains, the roads are in the mountains, which makes it windy and takes forever to get anywhere. When we arrived we found a guesthouse and booked ourselves onto a tour for the following day to see the plain of jars, I don't know why but it seems to be expensive to see these jars so it had better be worth it. In the afternoon we went to MAG a charity that deals with all the UXO (unexploded bombs) that where ...
