Si Phan Don & Tadlo
Hi all from SuperRelaxing Lao!!!Time seems to stop in this country... well you know that the watches keep on counting because the sun moves... but people seem to keep still in the shadow the whole day.
Well this is not exactly true. There are, at least in the south, three parts of the day. From Morning until 3.30 - 4.00 p.m. when people stick to the shadows, and they are sleepy (might have something to do that green thing they smoke ;oD). Don't even think saying "sabaidee"... as you might wake them up!
Then is bath time 3.30 till 6.00 p.m. Everybody is off to the river and they are really alive. Believe me... it looks like a methamorphosis (do you write this like this??? :oP). Then everybody is happy, loud and cheerful. Great! This is my favourite part of the day!!!!
And finally... night time. It just gets dark... and is bed time... there is nothing you can do. Specially when the black outs are normal and internet is not so common when you get out of the cities. I.e. we had been sleeping between 10 and 12 hours a day!!!!! Pfffffffffffff.
We got to Lao last Thurs and we headed directly to Si Phan Don also known as the 4 thousand islands (well... actually both things mean the same). There were some "canelada" moments, but we manage to do it right!
There is not much to do around there but chilling out visiting WaterFalls, look for river dolphins (we manage to see their backs... ehhhh, well, we think they were dolphins ;D), swim in the Mekong and play with the kids (main attraction of the last few days!!).
As that was all we could do we decided to try in Tadlo. See if it was more lively than Si Phan Don. Nope. It was as quite as the other!!! More waterfalls, more swimming in the river with the local kids -picture- (I'm sure that if you check in the LP they are part of a Minority group... pfffffff... somebody should burn the LP!!) and more relaxing time for us! Well... we enjoyed a good 3 hours trekking while the sun was really burning... yeah, that was good (and really stupid!).We are now in Pakse ready to go to Vientiane in a night bus (we had another "canelada" moment while buying the ticket this morning... nothing serious!!!!). We see if we can sort out our VISA to Myanmar tomorrow morning...
I hope you are all fine, and that keeping happy!
Muchos besos para todos!!! Espero que esteis bien y que nos veamos pronto!!!!
Ciao ciao!

hola toro
Como llevaba bastante sin entrar por aquí, me acabo de dar un atracón de fotos, ¿hablabas de envidia?. Se te ve bastante guapo, pero no te hagas ilusiones, tengo novia, Oscar parece que se quito la gorra más de lo que debía, ese color rojo lo ha copiado en Londres y tu hermano sigue pareciendo más joven que tú...
Cuidate mucho y recuerda disfrutar por los dos
Uehhhhhhhh, ese Javi.
No había dejado ningún mensaje por aquí, ya era hora, no??
Creo que te lo estás pasando muy mal, yo que tú me volvería, que tanto masaje y tanto sol te van a amariconar.
La verdad es que para todos los desafortunados que leemos tus historias desde el curro, el blog es la única oportunidad para soñar despierto durante 5 minutos y pensar que estamos ahí contigo.
Sigue gozando y achuchones varios.
Take care
