First hitchhike in Laos

Today we did a ratrace my tree kiwi friends took the bus to Luang Prabang and I and two German girls hitchhiked.
Who can order the beer as first in Luang Prabang? At 11.30 we were on the maineoad and tried to get a car. Not a lot of traffic but after 45 min. we got one! A nice fast pick-up to Pakmong. Lot more traffic over there so try to get a other ride. We tried 1 hour when a minivan passed us, with the screaming kiwi’s inside! We tried another hour before we decide to take the local bus. We saw beautiful views and even elephants. Many holes in the road so a bumpy ride and a lot slower but les expensive and a nice experiance richer!

We arrived at 17.00 in Luang Prabang.

Should I hitchhike again? Definetly!
