.... and on the way back ..

.. we stopped for a picnic by the river, disturbed a family's bath time and shared my laos sandwich with the local kids, they loved it, i only got one bite!
Then sat back and enjoyed the scenic drive back to luang prabang through the mountains, some roads tarmac, some mud and it's the rainy season! so big mud, our driver was ace and loved it, i shreeked at all the near misses with chicken, dogs, ducks, goats, people - thankfully no lives were lost
