After the terrible bus journey arrived in Pakse at 5am.
The guesthouse planned to stay in was shut until morning, went and woke up the staff in Thaluang Hotel to get a room for the night.

Needed a relaxing day after that bus ride. Had my first massage - Lao body massage. It was really good, feel relaxed and energised now.
Had some great food today, tasty food that is not bland - am I still in Laos?!
