72 hours

Where do I start?
Bowling was a hit I won! Really I did

Then I came home and spent the entire night vomiting my dinner and Lao Lao shots. Felt awful but managed to drag myself onto a bus to Phonsavan... 7 hours of HELL. The mountain roads are bad at the best of times! But I felt sick and had to visit many squat toilets on the way, not great in my situation!

Then we broke down!

Got on a local bus that was hot and smelly...finally at our destination the arse end of Lao not pretty at all and the hostel hmmm basic would be a nice way of putting it.

Mossies and spiders galore and sheets that were a little minging. Didn't eat all day.
Tuesday: Video about Lao and the secret war, did you know Laos is the most bombed country in the world ever! Took a tour to Mong tribal village where they use shrapnel for buildings, a quiet place with beautiful children. Trekked to waterfalls spent 2 hours trying to avoid leeches, got one attached to my leg! Walked around many bomb crater sites and even saw 2 cluster boms sitting in fields just waiting to be touched (living on the edge) Finally visited the plain of jars:
"The Plain of Jars remains one of the most dangerous archaeological sites in the world. Unexploded bombs, in particular cluster munitions, the results of massive US bombardment during the Secret War, still cause injuries every week. Visitors can safely visit only three sites, designated Jar Sites 1, 2 and 3, and they should follow signs still warning of unexploded bombs. Many ignore them"

Amazing site, frightening too, still felt sick. Back to hostel bed at 8pm
Up 6am this morning for another bus ride 6 hours, local bus but not feeling too sick anymore.

Suzi's adventure diet: crisps, biscuits and bread in packets.
In Vang Vieng nice hostel with amazing river view and a good toilet just in case. Planning on relaxing now...need it.

Missed home for the first time yesterday
