Sights of Savan

In the morning we hire a motorbike to see the town’s sights. The water fight unofficially continues and the whole country has the day off (except those in the tourist industry).

We take a drive down to the local stupa where the locals are pouring water and oil on the many Buddha statues

Afterwards we make a stop at a couple of Wats and the local dinosaur museum – a one room exhibition that the curator is very excited to show us, those of you thinking about visiting, it’s safe to skip.

For lunch we grab some barbecue chicken and liver, and as we’re walking to find somewhere to sit down, a group of locals invite us for a quick lunch beer and to share their food.

We share in lunch, have a few more beers and eight hours later realise that it’s time for my evening bus to Vientiane, something that shouldn’t be done after a long drinking session.
