After Emilie and I met back in Thakek, we mounted a motorbike to ride through the light green ricefields entrapped between high karstic cliffs covered with dark jungle. We loved the authentic smiles and shy waves of young children, the amazing caves sometimes drowned into milky coffee colored water, the slalom between cows and goats wandering on roads. Special credit for the huge scorpion and leechers (and the swarm of tiger-striped mosquitos) we encountered on a small trek into the jungle.
What an adventure!
Tomorrow: we leave Laos to Vietnam.
