Pak Beng to Huay Xai

That was quite easily the worst nights sleep I’ve had since I’ve been in the country & the others concerned.  The bed smelt terrible and I was left wondering how often the sheets etc were cleaned and what else had been sleeping in the bed.

On the slow boat again today.  It was just as pleasant as yesterday and is something I would recommend if people have the time.  Though bringing ones own cushion would be a notion.

We got into Huay Xai a lot later than expected.  It took 9 1/2 hours instead of 6 hours.  Oh well.  The only down side was that I couldn’t book the Gibbon Experience which means I’ll be stuck here for another two days as the next one does not leave until Wednesday.

So another good night was spent in the company of the guys from the slow boat as we were in to late for them to all cross the border.  The night ended up in singing Lao karaoke and since none of us speak lao I’m sure you can guess what the results were.
