Our trip to Lao started perfectly: the bus was cancelled. So the shortest way to explain the pain of this beautiful day is the following - 13h for 84km! Or taxi to vietnamese border, hiking from vietnamese side to Lao side for 1h, negotiating, hitchhiking on the yellow truck into Lao, negotiating again, getting on a local bus/truck for 70$!! which then got stuck in the mud, waiting, walking through the mud, getting on a non people truck (see below) to continue until construction side, where the road only opens from 11-13h an 17-19h. then finally getting to muon khoa and taking the ferry to our hostel (3rd pic). good lord, thanks we started the day at 5am.
