A pleasant day on the Mekong gave us a chance to sit back, relax & take in the Laos countryside. Very pretty.
There were a couple of stops on the trip, the oddest one being to a very primitive whisky distillery. Varieties included ones with Snakes & Scorpions. One of our group bought one of the bottles & apparently enjoyed finishing off the bottle during the rest of the holiday.
The most interesting stop was at the Pak Ou Caves. Buddha statues mixed with a history of being used as a storage area in the Vietnam / American war.
We also visited the Ban Xang Khong village which specialises in the production of hand-made paper. The framed picture in our lounge was bought here.
