Laos - Thakek & Savannakhet (5 - 7 April)

Stayed in quite a posh $9/night hotel on the banks of the Mekong. Rented a motorbike (always fun for Caz, holding on for grim death on the back) and went out into the hills to explore some great caves. The road was dusty & rutted and we got properly coated in brown dirt and had to wear a bandana over my face like a bandit or something. Savannakhet was not that good, just a crumbling old town. Had some nice cake, though.
