After 2 days of chilling in the hammocks I started to get itchy feet, I wanted to head up river some more but there weren't any local boats and it was really expensive to hire boats so I decided to head over to Udomassi and then up to Luang Nam Tha. Hanna and Cajsa were also thinking of heading that way too so we all jumped on a boat down river to catch the bus in Mung Khiaw. This time we were on a little local boat and had a bit of a surprise when we passed a calf swimming in the river and suddenly all the locals started shouting and some jumped on the roof, the boat turned around and i thought they were going to rescue the calf but these massive knives appeared and it turned out they were going to kill the calf. The next thing the boat had landed and all the men got off and started running after the calf, luckily they didnt catch it as I didn't much fancy sharing the tiny boat with a dead cow! Finally the boat driver went after the men and got them back into the boat. Guess thats the fun of local boats!
The bus ride to Luang Nam Tha was pretty uneventful but lots of bad roads so very bunmpy! We all ended up on a mini bus with lots of other tourists and the driver took us straight to Nam Tha instead of Udomasi but we did end up getting ripped off for the price!
