Central Laos 1

You'll be pleased to know that we're sitting in Vientiane, capital of Laos in the cold and rain (like a Dartmoor summer day!). Got here on the first luxurious bus we've seen for weeks. Had spent a day trekking in the amazing limestone country near Tha Khek, lots of caves including one 200m tunnel with a Buddhist shrine at the end. Ended with a mad game of petanque in a village UFO huts.

Booked the walk on a hot sunny day "but the weather turned around" - prize if you can place the quote.
