Savannakhet

After a long trip from the South China Sea into Laos we arrived in Savannakhet. At the border Timmy didn't have to pay for his visa while Victoria had to pay 38 USD. More than US citizens or Frenchies.
Savannakhet is a sleepy town in the rural region of southern Laos. We stayed for one night only and ate at the night market at the Mekong river. A really basic set up, but none the less really pleasing you sit around a pot and make your own soup. Similarly to fondue chi noise you throw the raw meat, the vegetables and hard noodles into the water. Then you take bite by bite and dip into a peanut paste. Really good and relaxing after the rather rough trip over the border.
The next day we took the astonishingly slow bus south.
