Day 2 (day 25 of our traveling) - was panicking for almost an hour in the morning to find the motobike key. Was throwing things around for no better things to do last nite. Anyway, got it n ready to go.
Drove few kilometers away here was the slippery walk to Tat Lo. Was stopped for 15 mins due to heavy rain. The weather was getting unpredictable and changed very quickly because we were in the forest and at the mountains. Was very cold when it rained. We were all hiding under some trees, had no time to worry that might increase our chance to hit by lightening. Short rain, we survived and we continued our journey.
The muddy slope was hell slippery. What made it more worrying was the slippery down hill slope leads you directly to the top of Tat Lo. So, if you fall, you fall with the waterfall.
Here was Tat Lo. Tall. I could barely see the waterfall as we were right a the edge of the top. Even thou pix taken from the top don't look as good as taken from further away it, these photos certainly life risking ones.
It would be nice to have picnic there. nice sun, water from the river coming to the waterfall at the top of the mountain, overlooking the Bolaven Plateau...
On the way to Sekong (planning that would be our 2nd destination), we had lunch at Thateng. The town was a small trade town with a small market and some local style restaurants. Couldn't order anything special as there was no menu. Can only have laap with sticky rice and noodle soup.
Arrived Sekong in a late afternoon. It was a bit of non event for us. It was a medium size town with a bigger market. The only thing there drew our attention was UXO Lao. Without a map, it took us an hour to find where it was even it was a very small town. While we jus about to give up, we bumped into it, which located in an under construction street.
UXO Lao is a local mines clearing organization in the country ran by the Lao people. It displayed different kinds of clusters, grenades and bombs hidden in Lao.
