I had a bit of a rough night. A slight attack of Montezuma's revenge, or the Tijuana cha cha. Lucky it hit me in the middle of the night, and I didn't have far to go. I was fine by morning, but I didn't have good night's sleep.
After breakfast I walked around the town one last time. Aside from Angkor Wat, and the other temples, there isn't a lot to see in the town
I did have an unpleasant experience at the airport. They confiscated my fork. Now that fork has been with me on three continents and numerous canoe trips. I will miss it.
Fork Off, Cambodian customs!
The flight to Luang Prabang, in northern Laos, was pleasant, and in two stages. We stopped in Paske, Laos, to pick up more passengers, but it was a quick turnaround. When we landed in Luang Prabang we had to get in line to pay for a Visa. They charge different amounts for different countries, and, would you believe it, Canadians must pay the most of any country. Most countries pay 30 dollars, Canadians have to come up with 42. I will have to write to Stephen Harper, and complain.
My hotel in Laos is not the cheapest I have had, but it is the least appealing. No closets, there are 10 hooks, and one single coat hanger.
The hotel also has some interesting rules, and I quote, verbatim
"Do not any drugs, crambling, or bring both women and men which is not your own husband or wife into the room for making love"
And my personal favourite
"Do not allow domestic and international tourist bring prostate and others into your accommodation to make sex movies in our room, it is restriction"
What a bummer, I come all the way to Laos, and I can't even make a porno flick in my room.
What is this world coming to?
Time to rest..sorry I didn't take any photos today
