Muong Ngoi, Laos


An hour further north on the river and you get to this place accessible only by boat. One main street. Gorgeous.




We did an amazing walk through valleys so perfect they seemed artificial. The next day we went fishing with locals, throwing nets, checking permanent lines, and drifting through river rapids with, uh.. drift nets, I guess. We then made a shelter out of bamboo on a sand bar and cooked them up on, once again, bamboo.


We observed a woman get off a boat and give birth in a squat position halfway up the stairs in the bottom left of the pic above, while we ate our noodle soup breakfast. Insane.


Crystal clear stream, full of fish, coming out of a cave.
