Laos - Pakse

We arrived in Pakse and tried to find a hostel. There wasnt alot going on, everywhere seemed to be closed. We asked a tuk tuk driver to take us to the city centre. We got in and he literally drove us around the corner, there was still nothing here! We researched a guesthouse and headed back the way we came. It was called Saibadey2 and was not what i expected. The decor was like an old tudor house with dark wooden walls and staircase. We grabbed some food and headed back to sit in the garden with the other people staying at the hostel. Here is where we met a spanish couple Maria and Hosé (thats not his name but ive forgotten it, sorry Hosé!). They were so enthusiastic and happy, great people to be around! Hosé begain to tell me about a motorbike loop they had just got back from. The both of them had met another spanish girl and they had done the loop together. Hosé got out the map he was given and showed us where they had been. It was called the Bolaven Plateau, you could do the smaller loop or the larger loop, 320km into the mountains which sounded amazing. They were on such a high from their trip i decided i was going to rent a moped the next day and explore Laos, off the beaten track!Baca selengkapnya
