Sore feet & sore legs!

In Phongsaly, we did a 2 day trek through the mountains and forests. It was nice to do the trek in this part of Laos as the weather was much much cooler than the other areas, however it seemed to be also much more hilly as a result.

Day 1 of the trek was the hardest with about 7 hours of walking up and down mountains and ending in an extremely remote village of the Aka Pixor tribe. The trek was mostly up as the Aka people tend to live high up in the mountains! We spent the night there trying to sleep but found that it was noisier than London! The place was littered with chickens, pigs, dogs, goats and buffalos with each making a ruckass starting at about 4am.
