• Bolaven - Plateau, day 3. 🌞

    May 29 in Laos ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Day three started again at 6 a.m., and luckily, the weather was beautiful. We stepped into our wet shoes, wore damp clothes as well, and started the day on the scooter. Thanks to the sun, our clothes slowly began to dry — but let’s not talk about the shoes.😅

    We skipped a planned hike because the shoes were still so wet and uncomfortable that we would’ve ended up with blisters. Instead, we visited a few more waterfalls and just rode through the stunning valley.😍
    I can’t even describe the feeling of being on the scooter, riding through all that massive, beautiful greenery.
    It was pure freedom, nature all around, sun on our faces, and nothing but the road ahead.🤩🌞🛵

    Because we skipped the hike, we returned to the village earlier than planned, around 4 pm. The man from the scooter shop also sold bus tickets, so I quickly decided to take the night bus to Vientiane in a few hours.

    He also kindly offered me a shower, and afterwards, Fabien and I wrapped up our time together with a beer at a rooftop bar in the village.🍻 At 7 pm my bus was already leaving.🚌😴

    (To be honest, Fabien didn’t bother me at all, but these past few days were enough, and now I’m really looking forward to spending the next days (hopefully) by myself.
    That’s also why I didn’t book another hostel, because in hostels, you’ll always end up meeting other solo travelers.😅
