Only got 5 mins to tell you all about another completely awesome day.
Took a minibus out to the elephant camp. Rode on the elephants around the jungle for about an hour. It felt weird at first but was really fun. They are nothing like how you expect them to be - the top of their heads are really hairy and their skin is just so thick.
Then we went to the caves which were beautiful but it was so so hot. Spectacular views of the Mekong and the mountains around.
Lunch back at the elephant camp and then chilled while all the Laotians had their afternoon nap - they cease to function when it gets too hot. Then back with the elephants, rode them without the seat and then went bathing with them in the river. Mine really didnt want to go where they told it to but washing them (and being washed by them) was really really fun.
On the way back to LP we went to a village that makes rice wine. The clear wine was nice and not too strong but the whisky was like vietnam rice wine and was really really strong.
Back in LP now for a chilled out evening spending more money on the night market. Met up with the guys i met in Nha Trang last night and will probably travel with them until Bangkok.
Very happy, very chilled in lovely Laos. Going to waterfalls tomorrow then leaving for Thailand the next day.
Lots of love
