Sunrise over the Mekong river.
After queuing at the border we were officially stamped out of Thailand, 3 minute boat journey across the Mekong and stamped in to Laos were we met the Stray bus!
Stayed in a home stay in a small village near Luang Namtha. Very basic traditional Laos housing, one large room to eat and sleep in with the toilet outside, no running water or gas.
As soon as the bus arrived in the village we were met by all the kids and taken to our families. We were given traditional Laos sarongs to wear and we went down to the river for a swim.
Dinner was delicious and cooked over a coal fire, sticky rice, pumpkin, chicken, spinach, fish, omelette and 2 extremely spicy dishes! We ate using our fingers by using the sticky rice to pick up the other food.
Lots of beer lao got passed around and laolao, which is rice whiskey!
Later we joined up with all the other families around a camp fire and played games with the kids, got them addicted to Star Wars Angry birds!
