New Years was spent at 4000 Islands (Si Phan Don) in Laos and it was pretty sweet.
We took a bus to the boarder, a songthaew to a parking lot where we caught another songthaew and shared a several hour trip packed in with 20 some people, 2 baskets of pigs, a bag of fish and flat chicken on a stick. It was so crowded strangers just slept on each other.
We stayed on a small island that was a combination of old hippies, new hippies and the Laos families living there. Children took us on their boat to watch a beautiful sunset, we rented bikes and road around the island, visited a gorgeous waterfall and had the best new years ever.
I hate this blog. I cannot figure out how to add pictures so they look nice, so here is a list of random photos from the trip.
