Thursday July 5th…slow boat to Laos…I don’t think so!
Well I wanted to go….and so I did! Always a long walk there and back plus all the walking while there…but we made our way to the Warorot Market! That is simply the biggest local market I have ever seen! Love it love it. Got a few of the “must have” things on my list ticked off ; ))
Had a fabulous lunch at Ginny Place (chicken with cashew nut for me!
Troy had american breakfast–if u can imagine–yes that is bacon, German sausage and a hashbrown patty) before we headed over to the market….and this is where my title comes in….the idea of going to Laos sprung into my head! So Ian told us all about it and it piqued my interest….so after much poking around on the Internet this morning…I think we may just book flight to Luang Prabang, Laos and then make our way down through a few of the larger centers in Laos….Ian’s plan includes a 2 day boat ride on a pretty rustic looking contraption…not quite sure we are up for that…so maybe a one hour flight suits me better : )
Back to Ginny Place for supper (yum yum green curry–but spicy!!)
We met a nice couple from Australia a couple days ago. They are in the process of renting an apartment for 12 months and they are going to hang out and see if they like it! They have to go home to Perth every three months (for 5 days) to keep their benefits, but they are pretty excited about their adventure : ) They signed their lease yesterday and a tuk tuk came and got them and their bags this morning at 9:30 to go move into their place! We will stay in touch to see how they do!
