Tad Lo

After eating a couple of frisbee-like pancake in the centre of Pakse the 4 of us (Stephane, Faustine, Jacks and myself) sorted out some money, decided on an agenda and made our way to the southern bus station. With a busy market and curious collection of farm animals and with hundreds of locals and the occasional bus, the 2 hour wait for transport was an adventure in itself. We eventually set off towards Sarawan and 2 hours later were dropped at the side of the road and pointed in the right direction.

We spent 2 nights in the quiet little tourist village and explored the mountains, waterfalls and many villages of the area. Even though Tad Lo is essentially set up for tourists it has a real rural charm about it and the fact that it only sees a couple of thousand visitors a year adds to it's attraction.
