After our mere suicide ride from Nong Khiaw to Muang Kham we stuck our thumbs out for about two hours with no luck.

Finally, we managed to flag down a bus that took us all the way to
Vieng Thong.
Apparently there is no such thing a retirement here.

I have mixed feelings about these signs...cool but a little concerning.

We headed out to these
hot springs for a morning soak. Nobody gets in the pool cause it looks far from clean (
algae and leaves), instead they sit under the pipes below.

SPA DAY!
I mean .....um..... time to soak those sore muscles from those heavy packs.

I attempted to find and fix the problem, but only made it worse. Good bye old friend!

As we waited for the bus and a straight answer of if it would actually come today, we tipped a few back with the locals. They love
BeerLao.
