    Wanderings Around Vang Vieng

    15 november 2017, Laos ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    I woke up the next morning feeling a little rough, and sore all over. How was it possible to get this sore floating in water and dancing badly? I also had some scrapes from the rocks. Anyway, I took it easy that day and mostly just lounged around. I did go out for food, supplies and binder clips to temporarily repair my sandals. It was surprisingly difficult to find binder clips.

    During my wanderings, I saw on the map that there was a long and skinny rectangular plot of land a little bit east of where I was. I got close to it twice but my path was blocked both times. I didn't think too much of it. After I left Vang Vieng, I did a bit of research and learned that the strip of land was Air America's Lima Site 6. Augh! I was so mad at myself. It would have been great to explore this little piece of history, even if it was just a pothole ridden strip of land per what I saw on Google Earth.

    The other interesting site was what I assume to be a North Korean restaurant. I could not independently verify this, though. I thought about dining there just for the experience, but I decided against allowing my dollars to benefit North Korea.
