Laos - 4000 islands

After the hell bus, it’s time to find an hosel, like everyone on the boat we did not book. I look at it a bit in advance, I would like to go to the sunset side of the island, we took first the wrong road and get back to the street thanks to a Spanish couple that is heading to the Happy Bar. Later on will will discover this famous Bar … For the best. 40 000 and a bungalow for two, the cold shower is for once very welcome. On the way to the hostel we met 2 amazing Italian tattooer girls that we decided to have dinner at the closest place called « Happy Bar ». Seems like the Laos cuisine is quite close to Vietnamese or Thailand one. I got a soup, Alena a Pad Thai. The restaurant owner is super funny we talk for a bit, tomorrow they organise a boat tour around the island for 5 dollars, the boat some shot and more. Quite tired we go to bed for a full night, waking up slowly in the morning we can rent bike or go to this happy boat. Bike today .. maybe not w are quite lazy, let’s get to the boat.

OMG what an experience, I was picturing myself at the hippy time, when everyone is friend, dancing on the beach. I even swim in the Mekong easily, me with my fear of dark water. That was awesome, Alena carry me for the most of the time but I was in the water somehow lol. We are taking pictures, laughing with everyone around, time fly it’s already time to get back to the shore. I got super sick in the boat that is moving a lot and decide to go to sleep this night.

14 hours later Alena is still not back at home, I spent 2 hours in the morning looking for her I know she will be back anyway she always come back haha. Here she is. I spent the afternoon writing about Siem Reap while she slept. On the afternoon we hear about a swimming pool I am sharing the idea to Alena. We are picturing a wild swimming pool in a cave. After 2 km cycling we arrived at a real swimming pool not that funny, let’s go back for the sunset but tonight there is no way that we eat again at the Happy Bar, we got recommandations for a place next to us, the food is amazing, the company less good, a guy is joining our table, this kind of person who does not stop talking and is putting details +++ in every single sentence I want to be polite I am saying nothing and just look around. But this guy really drive me crazy. He finally decided to go to the bathroom before the food arrive when Alena scream to me « OMG I can’t stand him, I don’t understand anything of what he is talking about » we laugh so much I am in the same mood I was thinking because of his accent I was not able to follow but not at all. I finish to tell him that their is too much details in the story but nothing he continues. The meal finished we go home, we can’t talk his voice I still in our heads. Alena give me some Lavender essential oil so we can relax and sleep. Tomorrow we are making our way to Thakhek.
