Laos has been one of our final destinations, and it’s definitely competing for the top spot of our favourite country on this whole trip. Everyday is Laos has been wonderful - great people, excellent food, amazing scenery, fantastic experiences, very laid back atmosphere, we want to come back to live here.

Some highlights include:

  • floating down the river on giant inner-tubes, in Vang Vieng
  • trekking to remote hill-tribe villages at the top of the mountains
  • kayaking through rapids (and falling into them)
  • riding elephants in the jungle
  • lazing on the river banks of Muong Ngoi

And since this is our last week in Asia we may as well list the things we’ve eaten over the last 8 weeks: 

  • snake (the chef chopped off its head in front of us and made us drink its blood)
  • squirrel
  • deer
  • porcupine
  • wild boar
  • duck feet (we ate this one unknowingly in the dark!)
  • frogs legs 
  • egg-duck (this is a baby duck which is nearly ready to hatch, but steamed and eaten with a spoon instead)

All were tasty, we’d eat them all again, except maybe the poor baby duck…
