Day 1 (day 24 of traveling) of our southern swing on the road - arrived our first stop at Tat Lo. This place was our first retreat from hours of driving on the bike. There were only 2 of us were travelers. In fact, apart from the guesthouse owners, seemed we were the only 2 human being.
Before we checked out the town, we checked in a bungalow in lush gardens along the bank of the river, from Tat Hang to Tat Suong. Had my best lunch here. Coffee Lao, pineapple shake, chicken fried rice with fish source. Enjoying our delicious food in the natural garden next to a waterfall. Perfecto! Soooooo good. a taste of paradise.
We went for a hike along the rivers. Bumped into some local villagers, mostly kids n their mums, grand mums, bathing and swimming in river. We hiked to the end of the trail. Along the way, we saw some really wired looking flowers, 2 shy cows, millions of ants, very quick n skinny spiders and the hidden village (where we were too shy to walk n say hi).
Gotta take a nap after a long day driving n hiking. had our dinner in the garden again. Another best dinner I ever had. Curry beef, vermicelli salad and spring roll. It was raining occasionally outside. We sat under the roof enjoying our food while watching the geckos on the roof having their dinner too. The geckos here are american size. A lot of food supply! We were laughing so much. The geckos brought a lot of fun. And how amazing we both watched a thai TVC about geckos in different country n in a different time.
Had a short walk see if any chance we would bumped into any travelers. No sign of human beings. Walked back to our room, play cards n silly games. A very soft, mild and nice chilling day 1.
Apparently, Tat Lo, the real waterfall is 10 mins bike ride from the guesthouse. So, we will go n check it out tmr before we head to the next destination.
