Rain on the Plateau
Landed in Pakse in pouring rain. Were met of the plane on the runway with an umbrella each - very efficient! Tour of the Bolaven plateau today - 1500m high and very lush, verdant scenery surrounded by mountains apparently (they were hiding under the mist). Lots of coffee and tea plantations and small villages. We stopped at one of the villages to …

Wat Phou Where and Why
... There are groups sitting on stools by the roadside eating their breakfast noodles, others motoring about on scooters, kids playing and roosters crowing. The road takes me through an endless series of villages, over rickety wooden bridges, past rice paddies and the dark looming shapes of gentle buffalo on the roadside. The smoke from cooking fires hangs in the air and I still have about five kilometres to go when the golden rays of the sun stretch out over the ...
