I have had no appetite for all that time, which will surprise those who know me, even the thought of crisps and wine didn't appeal! I must have been ill...
So, it's been mainly watery soup with a few noodles floating around and lots of water.
Yesterday we walked around the town and visited the Royal Palace and had a stroll along some of the residential roads, it is all so lovely, I took some good pics of local life.
We visited a charity founded by an American guy who has got story books published in Laos for the local children to read, I took a photo of some of the information, unbelievable!

They had some board games for use and we played a game of Scrabble, 5 games and a few beers ( for Frans, water for me ) later it was 11pm, and we were being asked to leave, how funny. The score was 2 all and we didn't get to finish the 5th game.
We also had some munchies, I managed to get myself 2 plates of raw sliced carrot, hurrah!
Today we went for a long walk over to the other side of the Mekong river.
It is less touristy and we saw local life.
A few of the women were weaving silk scarves on their looms, it is so intricate.
We are moving on tomorrow to Vang Veng, a place that is 6 hours away over some high winding roads.
It promises to be stunning scenery along the way if a little nauseating due to the condition of the roads, I have my travel pills and Imodium at the ready!
See you when I get there.
