I'm winning!
Per won! Jenny lost!
Edit (Jenny): It didn't happen that often. Per winning that is. Raining in the afternoon on the other hand, yes that happened more than once.

Raindrops keep falling on my head
In the North of Laos it was humid. Very humid. We were travelling on the edge of the rainy season. This meant fewer tourists but heavy rainfalls in the afternoon. They lasted for an hour or so, and then the sun came back.

Entering the backpacker trail
First stop in Laos; Luang Prabang. This place was nothing like we had been to before. In the city centre it was crowded with westerners. This wasn't really a bad thing; it was actually quite nice to meet people that spoke English. We spent a couple of days relaxing in the city, getting massages (almost for free; seriously 4 bucks), strolling around... and eating some hamburgers and that sort of stuff.

30 dollars and counting
Border crossing China-Laos. It was a good thing we ended up quite in the beginning of the queue, to the officer booth to get visas and entry permits. The stamps in the passports got more and more expensive further down the line. Other than that our first impression of Laos, was that it's a beautiful country and the food a bit more spicy.
