This follows my previous image. When the clouds lifted, this was the view. The road we were following led down the valley. Best viewed large. Explored.

These men in the village of Xay Oudom were repairing a weighted net used to catch birds. It's a subsistence lifestyle in the highland villages of Laos. See the note to meet some of the village women. Well, this seems an appropriate musical link.

Watching and having a laugh as the tourists go wandering through the village of Xay Oudom (street scene in previous image). Image of some of the men in a note.

This little town was in the central highlands. On the right the mini-bus we travelled in. As can be seen, motor scooters are particularly popular in Laos as a first form of motorised transport. It also seemed that every second shop was selling mobile phones! Second image in note.
