Today the bus took us from Ban Lung to Kratie, which turns out is a pretty ugly small town with nothing but a smelly market (just like the disappointing market in Ban Lung). We used to love walking around markets in Asia, but lately we've been going in and out as quick as possible.
The bus journey was a comic episode: when extra passengers got on, everyone erupted into intense argument which resulted in some form of "musical chairs" where almost everyone moved seats - somewhat frustrating as the bus waited until everyone was happy until moving on (with some passengers ending up sleeping in the dusty aisle).
Five minutes before we rolled into Kratie a torrential downpour cause yet another leaky bus episode, and meant we got soaking wet when we got out of the bus and got our filthy packs. Liv and Nicole took shelter and looked after the bags while the guys went in search of a room in the rain. The girls were pleasantly surprised at the good, cheap room they found - it even has cable tv (which might come in handy if this rain persists!).
We set out in search of cheap food, which we found at a guesthouse (where the most expensive food usually is), and then sat out the storm on the Internet.
We dined on some market food for dinner (including some grilled frog for Adam) and then the boys enjoyed beers while the 4 of us watched a movie, intermittently sneaking out to the balcony to watch the lightning show over the white capped water.
Adlibing a storm.
