Back from the jungle....

From Luang Nam Tha we went to Nong Kiew, a little village in the middle of nowhere. From there we took a boat upriver to the even smaller village of Muang Ngoi. Here we started hiking out into the mountains and the jungle. We walked from village to village and got to know the REAL Laos. WOW!!!!
Because of bad weather we had to head back after 4 days (through mud and leeches).
Since yesterday we are in Luang Prabang, the tourism-capital of Laos - We are back in civilization and want nothing more than go back to the wild...

In Laos...

After Chiang Mai we got stranded in Pai for a while - it was just too beautiful! But because our Visa was due to expire we just made a quick stop in the Golden Triangle and then crossed the Mekong to Laos. Tomorrow we will go to Luang Nam Tha and then????
