Our original plan was to move south from Thakhek, stopping off at a couple of likely places before ending our journey in the fabled 4000 islands.
However..........
Following our recent derriere discomfort traversing the unmade paths around Thakhek, we were in no hurry to sign up for a 6-8 hour minivan trip.
Add to that the fact that the only way out from Laos after that is by many more horrible hours of hammering of the haunches or by selling a kidney to enable us to fly out from Vientiane (and we now only have 2 functioning kidneys between us), and you'll see that we had few options.
So there we are. Tomorrow we head back across the Friendship Bridge Number Three and into Thailand again.
See you there tomorrow
