Bit by the travel bug

"You say the hills too steep to climb,

Chiding!

You say you'd like to see me try,

Climing!

You pick the place and I'll choose the time

And I'll climb the hill in my own way."

Yes, I agree…every little thing does excite me. But nothing does as much as the prospect of flying to a new land, seeing new people and dreaming about the shots I can get on my camera of the entire experience.

And that's what happened yesterday, I was bit by the travel bug again.. and this time it bit me pretty hard..

We (my CB n me) once again started making travel plans... and this time to the long-forgotten, laid back land of Laos. I started my usual 'googling' around, opening a zillion tabs and trying my best to keep track of how I ended up on the current webpage. 

But oh wasn't it all worth it... Laos does seem like a totally wonderful travel experience altogether, promising me that I could get lost in time once I set my foot on it. The treks, the temples and the food (heavily influenced by the history of the French colonialism) awed me. Little did I know that this small land had so many varied experiences to offer, and now, thanks to my extensive 'research', and my greed of course *evil grin*.. I am contemplating what kind of experience I would want to absorb. 

Should I go back in time again with the peace and quiet of the temples, or should I let myself be completely engulfed by nature and go on a 3-day trek visiting the local village and getting to know their culture <might get some exercise also in the bargain? *sheesh*>?

Spoilt for choice, I'm still wondering….he he... but Laos I am definitely coming down soon to visit you baby... May you form a deep deep dent in my heart and love me enough to call out to me again! :-D
