A few days ago Trevor wanted to go back to London. In the middle of the night we woke upp and heard strange unexplained noises. It sounded like either.....
1. Cockerels clucking hysterically and pecking metal with their beaks.
2. Lao construction workers stoned on Lao Lao moonshine banging metal with hammers while screaming like cockerels.
3. Stoned Lao construction workers taking part in witch craft rituals while having sex with hens.
Very very odd and scary indeed.
Thankfully we woke up alive the next day...
It was a beautiful day so we rented bicycles and cycled to a cave that had been used by the Pathet Lao guerillas - had a swim there in a natural pool Lao-style fully clothed. While we where sitting drying off on the grass a great gathering of monks and locals came for a swim. Two girls came up and asked if I would pose for a picture with them...another strange occurrence. Somehow I doubt it was because I was Nordic looking but more because I just looked plain odd. I was sitting lotus style on the grass with a hat on - not properly on but just put on top of my head to protect me from the sun - a big wet shirt, shorts and sunglasses while smoking a cigarette. I took off the hat and sunglasses...maybe they were disappointed I did but never the less they looked happy.
