Pakse
Pakse is the biggest city in Southern Lao. It's the gate to Thailand and Cambodia in the south. Its size is considerable and the heat already pretty ugly. The market is a chaotic mix of jewelery shops, fruit shops, BBQ places, about a 100 buses waiting for passenger to fill up - add a little dust and you have it. The street where we stayed at is much more civilized and offers western cuisine. I chose the Schnitzel which initially proved unwise, but in the long run just plain bad. I got sick and couldn't really eat and had temperature for 48 hours and then chose to take antibiotics. The "bus" from Pakse to the 4000 Islands in the south was packed with people (about 30) of which some had to stand at the rear of the "jeep".
