In fact it might even be the official department of tourism strapline.... speaks volumes. Although we said we'd avoid these, Laos was our favourite spot so far and we just want to share the Laove.
We loved:
- journeys on the Mekong - it's got 1,977km of the whopper, (have to blame the Chinese for pinching the other 33 and not just because it's fashionable)
- elephants
- 4000 Islands - like a delta, just inland
- pace of life & the people - to earn or have more than you need is bad - it means so much is the opposite of what we expect
- sunsets (over the mekong ever day)
- bamboo huts - they rock, in fact bounce would be a better word, but we liked them
- public buses
- the other travellers you meet in Laos, they're always as happy as you (Chuck and Val get an honourable mention here - for too many reasons to go into now)
