The Laos trail

A short recap of my Laos adventures till now, because the long version is too long for now. Ready, set, go!

15 Dec - Crossed the border to Huay Xay, slept there.
16 Dec - Rickety bus to Luang Nam Tha
17 Dec - Enjoying the silence
18-20 Dec - Nam Ha Forest camp trek
21 Dec - On to Nong Kiahw, but didn't make it. Stuck at Pak Mong for the night.
22 Dec - Arrived to Nong Kiahw and took a boat to Muang Ngoi Nuea.
23 Dec - Said goodbye to Christa for now and enjoyed the silence. Managed to have one hour of hammock time :-(
24 Dec - Walking to the villages around with Zack and Shanon. Met Ivona and Jiska, whom I met on the Annapurna trek in Nepal and in the rafting trip. It is a small world after all. Merry Christmas.
25 Dec - Long long but lovely boat ride to Luang Prabang.
25-29 Dec - Luang Prabang. I met Christa again and we went to see Kuang Si waterfalls (recommended), and up Phu Si hill. The days go too fast...
30 Dec - I said goodbye to Christa yet again and headed to Phonsavan.
31 Dec - I visited the plain of jars with Luke and Valerin (surprise, surprise, from Switzerland, same as Christa) and had a new year's/agency branch opening celebration.
1 Jan - I arrived to Vang Vieng.
