(1) Music from the band "Blue" seems to follow us everywhere.
(2) Our tan levels are slowing improving, even though we reckon we are still the palest human beings ever to set foot on this continent.
(3) Mozzie Count: after a victorious start for the bug species, we seem to have dropped off their interest radar. Mozzie counts are low, but the scars are holding tough.
Sunday, 7 May 2549 - did you know the calendar is 543 years ahead here?
Today we escaped the heat for a few hours by taking a trip to Kuang Si Waterfall. The trip out only took about 40 minutes, but it wasn't long before the road turned to gravel and we saw real life in northern Laos - not as glossy and pristine as Luang Prabang.
The waterfall itself was very picturesque and the whole area very scenic. The nicest part was the line of turquoise pools leading away from the waterfall, which we were able to slide in to (muddy silt made things slippy!) and cool off in.
While Sancha enjoyed a mid afternoon siesta and Michelle was enjoying some fresh air outside the guesthouse, pondering the existence of a rather flash silver Mercedes parked just across the road (which would stick out in Bangkok, not to mind Luang Prabang), Mick Jagger was enjoying his Beerlao at the local restaurant. Rumour has it that he left just a drop, but the english lads sitting near him managed to keep the label from the bottle he drank from - we cannot confirm who got the the bottle itself.
