• Don Det - Pakxe. 🌈

    May 26 in Laos ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C

    On the second day, we met again for breakfast and spent the afternoon in a cozy café where we ate, drank, and talked. Lara tried a local specialty dessert, „banana sticky rice“ while I went for something more Western (my last Western food was over a month ago🤪). I had a vegetarian burger, which I really enjoyed.🍔
    Even though Don Det is a comfortable and beautiful place, two days were enough for me. So I took the ferry back to the mainland and then spent three more hours on the bus to „Pakse“. Lara decided to stay three more days - she's a bit more into the lazy and chill island vibe than I am. 😄 For me, staying longer would probably have been a bit boring.🤭

    Now I'm really excited about Pakxe, because I'lI spend just one night in a hostel before starting something new: I'II leave my big backpack at a shop and rent a motorbike for the Bolaven Loop - a three-day adventure through the mountains by motorbike.
    I don't know yet where l'II sleep each night, but the route includes viewpoints, waterfalls, hiking spots, coffee plantations, and local villages.🤩 That also means I have to pack everything I’ll need, that I really need😅, for the next three days into my small backpack.🙉
    Let's see how that goes.😵‍💫😅🎒
