Not sure what they grow here but dry season is evident. It was only 10am but it seemed unlikely to do the very hilly 35k to the next town before it got too hot – and again I didn’t want to sit around all day in the heat. I looked at 10 guesthouses and was again amazed by the lack of connection between price and quality. I found a decent place with internet, but it only worked an hour, so maybe it was a hint I should spend the day relaxing. I had my first big dinner and good night’s sleep since Vientiane.
