Dag 2 in Laos dag 12 van de reis
Wat een lieve berichtjes van jullie allemaal, wat leuk om het te lezen!!
In Khong Kaen te nooden van Thailand hebben we eigenlijk niet zo veel gedaan. Hier zijn we 1 enkele dag geweest voor op door reis naar Laos.
Hiertoe hebben zijn we door gereist met het gehele gezeldschap naar Ventiane de hoofdstad van Laos, waar we dus nu op dag twee in Laos zitten. De grens tussen Thailand en Laos was echt een ramp. Eerst moest je in de rij gaan staan om...
I thought it was odd that there were not more people at the
gate for the flight from Bangkok to Luang Prabang in Laos. I counted 25 people.
That seemed sparse even for the low season. We were placed on a bus and driven
out to our waiting chariot. It had propellers. Now I understood. The plane was
also about ¾ empty and we pretty much had our choice of seats provided that we stayed
in our assigned seat during take off. This I assumed was in case of any last
minu...
It is quiet in Luang Prabang at night. Sleeping is not a challenge here. There is very little in the form of light pollution, (you have to admire a place that illuminates its major intersections with strings of Christmas lights) and the curfew keeps the streets empty. I slept soundly through the night and when I rose it was raining as it seems to always be doing at this time of the day. It was a light rain and it didn't last long.Apparently that wasn’t the case through the course of th...
Luang Prabang, Lao Peoples Dem Rep yyztrvlrWe took a minibus from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang in the hope that this would be more comfortable than the public bus. At worst, it would still be 2 hours quicker. The driver was a lot better than the public bus guy, as he would slow and sound his horn when overtaking on blind corners. It was better not to watch. He also treated us to local pop music which he played loudly. When the 3 westerners all put on headphones to listen to our iPods, he turned the volume to max. We were dropped off at...

... breakfast consisting of one fried egg, a banana, and french bread, we said goodbye to our hospitable host family and continued our hike. We hiked for about two hours before we arrived at a truck which took us to the river where we'd begin our kayaking trip. We boarded the kayaks, Claire and I on one, and our guide on the other, and began our journey down the river. At first we were a little disappointed at the lack of activity on the river, especially since it meant we had to consistently ...
Luang Prabang, Louangphabang, Lao Peoples Dem Rep seasiabound... thunder storms either of us have witnessed meant our encounter with the elephants was delayed until later in the day. As we sat in our lodge waiting for the monsoon rain to subside roars of thunder caused everything from the foundations upwards to vibrate. Three long hours later we were introduced to two new elephants, a 35 year old female and an enormous 60 year old bull elephant that towered above anyone and anything. For the next couple of ...

Luang Prabang, Lao Peoples Dem Rep blummo... come and sit down at the front desk. I check Yahoomail, facebook, and MyYahoo news page. A couple feel-good msgs, always nice, a few forwards, delete. A group of Brits just get in from the overnight bus trip from Vientiane. I can tell they took the bus as opposed to the two day boat trip from Houayxay bc they look well rested and have some life in them. Copy information out of passports, write down visa number, assign a room, handover a key, sheets, and a pillow case and see ...

At all times she kept her arms and the palms of her hands facing outwards in what looked like a permanent gesture of acceptance.<br><br>Inside the great hall plastic chairs lined each side in several rows, all facing in towards long trestle-tables piled with buffet food. On a stage at the front, below a painted mural of an ecstatic newly-married couple, stood a man with a microphone ...
