There were huts down by the river which is pretty much what we did, lie around and alternate between beer and fruit juice. Ah beer laos. read about it: The Lovely Universe.

you can't see it in this image, but every night at sundown a massive amount of bats would come out of the cliffs on that hill. It looked like smoke. And I should point out that my dutch friend Matt calls that a mountain. Sorry Matt, its a hill.

eye in a treeLuxagraf is an experiment in travel writing — highly subjective, non-linear and a bit more random than most travel writing, but hopefully you'll like that. If not, there are plenty of glossy magazines out there to satisfy you.

I didn't start out to be a travel writer, I was writing and happened to do some traveling. The results are what you see here. Along the way I've discovered that travel writing is one of the only honest forms of non-fiction. That's what luxagraf is about — the unvarnished, sometimes ugly, truth of travel, told by someone just like you.

For smaller, snack-size stuff, not necessarily about travel, head over to the new snacks section where I record my travels around the web.
