After experiencing the corrupted administration at the Thai-Lao border we passed the Mekong another time to get to Huay Xai, we then caught a bus to Luang Namtha north Laos, lost in the jungle. The city is quite small but the tribes living around come down to sell their handicraft. We rented bicycles and went around between rice fields and waterfalls for a day. This place is far from the civilization and it is nice to see that it still exists.

| The food in Laos is different from the other surrounding countries, less fried food and more local ingredients. The above dish is called Jeow, made of mashed fish with chillies and local spices, sticky rice and steamed vegetables, yummy yummy! |

| The landscape is amazing still wild and untouched for centuries. |
 |
| Rice fields are everywhere with little huts. Animals are not attached and running all over the place, it is not uncommon to see a cow sleeping in the middle of the road! |
