Another long journey today. This time however, the bus was OK and some of the mountain scenery outstanding.
A moment of mild alarm as we descended the last hill into Luang Prabang with a blowout on one of the rear tyres. Mild turned quickly to Major when it became obvious the driver wasn't bothering to stop to inspect the damage. He probably did a quick calculation, offsetting the chances of serious casualties among his passengers against the fact his missus would have the dinner on the table in 20 minutes.
Normally most passengers would vote for a pit-stop and tyre change, but after 7 hours travelling we were all happy enough for the bus to hobble the last five miles on 3 wheels.
