This place is soo secluded, they just got power 10 days ago! So there wasn't much use in asking about the Wi-Fi..
3 days without internet.. I'm not going to lie, I loved it! How freeing. :)
I came here with people from the bus, by boat, the American couple (Mara and Rory), the Greek uk guy (Agi), and the Swiss I've been with since Sapa (Nicholas)!
Plan: To stay here one night.
What really happened: We stayed 4.
First day goal: To hike through caves.
What really happened: Breakfast and played cards for 4 hours and swam.
-But we did make a new friend, Anne, Thanks to Agi.
Learned: While travelling, you really need days where you do nothing.
Second day goal: to hike through caves and a local village.
What really happened: hiked through caves, met some locals who led us to the local village, adopted a dog, named him Pluto, and swam.
Learned: Dark caves are not as fun when your torch is your cell phone flashlight.
Third day goal: Chill and blog.
What really happened: Fell asleep on hammock while blogging, hammock fell out of the ceiling & broke beneath me, finished a blog, and swam.
Learned: If you hear the hammock make noises from where it's connected to the ceiling, it will fall.
Fourth day goal: 9:30 boat to Nong Khiaw & message my worried mum upon arrival that I'm still alive.
What really happened: 9:30 boat to Nong Khiaw & messaged my worried mum upon arrival that I'm still alive.
Learned: Relaxation is wonderful. So are hammocks.
In Mueng Ngoi Neua, we met a Swedish guy, Gabe, who met a local, married her, and now lives in the village with her, her family, and their 2 children. They have a breakfast and dinner buffet that we went to every morning and 2 nights. They also make the best shakes ever!! Pluto, the dog that continuously followed us around, ended up being Gabe's! And his name: Pac. But we still called him Pluto when Gabe wasn't around. I think for the 3 days we were there he was with us most the time.. miss him.
<3
Fast boat tomorrow to the next village and then Luang Prabang!
