Goodbye to Laos

<>
<><>
Bens gets muddy.

We're loving it honestly!!

                                          

A great couple of days back to basics in bamboo huts in the Phu Hin Bun national park and a brief ovenight stop at Savannakhet heralded the end of our time in Laos.  The scenery in this part of the world is amazingly beautiful, lush mountains enclosing fast flowing rivers, rice paddy fields galore amongst the bamboo huts.  It sounds a bit overdramatic but at times it really does take your breath away. I've loved everything about Laos.  The people, though obviously poor, are happy with the whole village working together.  All the children play together, without the need for electronic toys, and you can feel the community spirit.  Even the animals get on with water buffalo, dogs, pigs, chickens and cats all sharing homes.  It truely is a great country very chilled and I was sad to leave.  Oh and the food is great as well!
