Jan 28 - Time to hike out of the woods. On the way we passed through another village and eat some lunch. While there we ran into another trekking group. It turns out the areas aren't that remote and roads seemed to lead to all the villages. That aside it was a great experience. After we got to the road a few of us checked out the river and watch some gold panning on the banks. By the end of the trip our group Cathy & Scott, Kelly & Tim, Bjorn and I all got to know each other. In the evening we got together for a drink at a rare (in Laos) wine bar.
