Amazing how just last month any sign of remote sickness and it was the end of the world for me. Now it's the case of either suck it up or miss out on some amazing experiences I'll never get to encounter again. Last night in puang bragang I wasn't feeling particularly hungry and it was raining outside but our tour guide assured us we had to visit this restaurant. So after wangling through dark alleys (there are no street lights in Laos. Some parts only just discovered electricity last year) we came across utopia. I was in awe, shoes not allowed, low slung mattresses, tiny tables serving the best bangers and mash I'd ever tasted. Yes I realise it is western food but the gravy was dropping with beer Laos. Plus you try eating noodles morning noon and night!!
Amazing how a simple night out for dinner can awaken my senses. I may be feeling sick physically but mentally I am so incredibly happy to be here. The only downer is missing everyone from back home. Im having restless nights sleeping which means I am constantly dreaming. And every dream so far has consisted of my Essex life surrounded by my family and friends doing mundane things. Amazing how I've switched dream worlds aye? There was a time where all I could dream of is me exploring the world and now that I'm here you guys are never far from my mind.
Enough rambling now. Tonight is an early night for me as I want to be 100% ready for tubing tomorrow! Our theme to wear tubing is hot pink. Not sure the boys are too happy about this one but they are severely outnumbered on this tour.
