The end of 'the loop'

The last part of ‘the loop’ to Thakhek along route 12 is just stunning scenery and has lots of caves and rivers to explore, but unfortunately we didn’t get good pictures.

We pulled this baby buffalo off the road but it had been hit and it’s mum had abandoned it and I’m sure it would have been dead in hours.




We spent the night at Mahuxai, in the tuktuk at someone’s house right on the river investigating whether route 23 was passable—it wasn’t.

On the way to Thakhek we walked though a mountain by a cave and swam out the other side guided by local kids who hid and tried to scare us in the dark on the way back. And swam in this beautiful river— one of my favourite swimming spots. A 3-swim day is a good day to me!
