My trip veers toward nature especially with the river excursion in Laos. I had planned a transfer on the famous Mekong, in the end I did it on the Ou River, which deserves for the name alone.

The change of plans with the river excursion, also allowed me to do a little trekking in the jungle, and get a taste of some of the magnificent nature of this country. The improvisation is due to the misinformation given to me by my paper guidebook.

The really strange thing about this trip

On one night in Luang Prabang, undoubtedly the most beautiful city in Laos, an incredible thing happened to me, which can only happen in these countries.

I had woken up at 2 o’clock obviously thirsty from the evening’s tasty pork barbecue.
Without even turning on the light; the switch was as usual distant; I didn’t even try to look for my glasses.
Tasting in the dark I find the water bottle to open, marked toilet and purchased in a store.
Puah!
It was schnapps!

Tomorrow, Cambodia.

On the road you have little time, and you can’t arrange photos for example. But above all, I think certain experiences should be analyzed and relived cold. Also you can have a more global view of the whole trip that maybe makes you reevaluate or accentuate certain aspects

Ho sempre avuto tante passioni, ma da sempre più o meno latenti, le principali sono viaggiare e scrivere. Tra le altre cose ho una laurea in psicologia; ho fatto per più di 30 anni l’allenatore di basket; leggo tanti libri; sono stato molto appassionato di sport e di musica rock; e faccio improvvisazione teatrale. IL mio primo romanzo, che non parla di viaggi, si chiama LE TUE GAMBE SONO BELLE COME LE TAGLIATELLE
