Market

and once again stopover night in luang praban, this time in the way south...vang vien, having heard that the party scene is not so much now...a couple of days on bike with landscape would be nice now...

and today back down the river, an overcrowded bus, me on the floor in the aisle sat on a stool made for a three year old...five hours later we arrived...not even close to the worst bus journey of the trip...but I do begin to really like Laos. It's been stunningly beautiful and it runs on a variant of non standard time...a ramshackle clock occasionally chiming shanti shanti...
