Blargh equals how I felt. My biggest concern this day was that I had an overnight bus ride to Luang Prabang and I was still not fully recovered from the day before. I was worried that I’d still be pooping water and I’d have to poop on the bus. Every 30 minutes. Around 11am, I ventured a walk around the city to test how I felt. I walked around for about 3 hours feeling okay. Not great, but good enough to not cancel the bus ride. Let’s power on.

The rest of my afternoon was spent hanging out in Backpackers Garden lobby just resting and planning other parts of the trip. At this point, I was running on only water and a couple bowls of rice. I didn’t want to risk eating anything else before the upcoming bus ride. At 7pm, a truck came to take us to the bus station. There weren’t enough seats in the truck bed for us all, so some of us, including me, had to sit on the edge. It didn’t seem like safety was a huge concern.

Regardless, made it safely to the bus. Below’s a pretty cool drawing of the Power Puff Girls and Optimus Prime at Backpackers Garden. Also, there are two people sleeping in the bottom right picture.
