First adventure - Ban Na Hin

I feel like we've had our first journey that was really worth it in the Ban Na Hin area.

Leaving Vientiane we tried to go to Phou Khao Kwai (Buffalo horn mountain) national park but the last 4 km of a 30 km dirt road to the camp site, visitors centre and waterfall were impassable in a tuk tuk. I had been warned about it but we weren't sure how bad it was and whether the tuk tuk could make it. So we abandoned the attempt and went on to Paksan where we added extra front suspension to the tuk tuk, I applied for an 'enviropreneur' course in the US and we had computer problems.

Next stop Ban Na Hin, and a 7.5km boat ride through a cave and a walk to a waterfall where an Australian recently got lost in the jungle for 11 days and was nearly eaten by lizards...

Willy's Olympus camera is no longer taking good photos so pictures from now on will have to be with his movie camera.
