Road No 7.

Abside from no 7 is a cave with a buddha its over 1000 year old. Made by cow shit. In the Vietnam war here in the cave was a hospital from the kommunist warriors.

Holy place again

In this cave are living some teribble animals. Shure I m not lying. [] Look at this.

Plane of Jars.

In this cave hundreds of Lao people die after a US rocket attack.[|)]

Riding a Minsk with 350 kg rice on board ( so we never hungry on tour

)or see the beautiful hilltribes. Much more nicer than in Laos or Thailand.
