Der Göttliche Hauch

This was probably one of the most exiting transport i ever had in my live and drive many kind of transportations on my travel on many places .But the Transfer Bangkok to Laos was like that.
Taking th night train to the Lao boarder changing to minibus changing them in a rapid jump off jump on just in some no-name villages just trusting that it would be hopefully the right one .This about 3 times and finally on a litle long boat to get on the Island on the Mekong .

Hbut what elseow you pack 22 People on the back of a minibus more a vegetable truck on 10m2 is a LAO art and if run over the streets your back get really hurt after hours of driving without one centimeter too move even just your legs .But we get on the most chili place in the world the island Don Tet with the small fisher huts guesthouses granite for minimal comfort but what else you need .
About 3 hours you have generator cu rent that makes it hard to charge even you batteries of photo or other equipment you have with you like ipod ect. Internet is there for extreme high prises and even more extreme slow that its make it nearly impossible to upload a Photo to your face book or flicker for your friends .That’s why the blog also miss now some of the nice ambient flir pix that i would like to share too .Next city i will ad them .
Don Tet is about just very close to Cambodian border and some called it the last paradise on earth people and nature is like that and time doesn’t exist here .The most common sentence ” i think i will stay one more day ” on this way many stay quite long here and you see some long mustache backpackers here ,there are no shaving stuff available here to .
So i would like to recommend this place as one of the 3 highlights you must be in Laos but on the other way i would prefer it stays as it is quite and undiscovered with very view truism .

One Extreme fast decision i had made for a Travel to Asia again .As its a huge change going on for next year we wana power up with new spirit and more Asian connections. So the Tankgirl moved on the 24 December to start a travel to Laos ,North Vietnam ,east Thailand and we shortly expand it to visit South china too.
Keep some relaxing days in Kho Chang a little island about 6 hours from Bangkok we dropped there right away after landing .And stay there to keep the new year on a beach place far south of the island ,on some little wooden huts called Cliff hand cottages far simple wood huts but very quite and right up a rock from with you can see the most beautiful sun downer.
Befor we dive deeper in to the land and ethnic places. Getting down from the fast and hectic European time. After about a week we get the feeling that the door opens for us .
Even on the far est spots you find some kind of Internet and even my friend Bebi (Joe) was surprised how many backpack travellers take there laptop with them .So we are not the only crazy ones.
I will tray to fix my mobile to post and upload some snaps to the facebook and Flicker accounts too.
But still minimise the use of all this technical and online stuff as much as possible.
Still need some visas for Laos and china and to repair BePis Nikon lens .
What was impossible in Europe (no spare parts) is here quite simple.
The friendly thai people is a perfect and easy start for this travel.
more soon
