A lovely day at the Nam Ngum Dam. Last time was March of 2017.

The Nam Ngum Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Nam Ngum river, a major tributary of the Mekong in Laos.

	Early morning pool view. Martin getting ready with his earplugs.
	On route to the 12 meters long pool. It is short, but will do.
	Martin finished his 150 laps or 1800 meters, more or less. Our room at the 4th floor above the pool.
	The chicken coop next door. But the chickens are gone. The main pool was in a miserable state, empty and no work going on.
	Nothing is happening. Lai and Martin at the dam. They look nice in their Indian shirts.

	The main dam. A second power plant is being built to the left of this one. There is a lot of excessive water in the dam. The power plant entrance. Next time, Martin will pay them a visit.
	Onto the dam itself. The stairs down to the boats were very steep. Martin had to be careful.
	Our restaurant, aptly called NamNgum Restaurant. bOur boat.
	Bank and Martin seated. We are getting served.
	Lai and Martin, dinner over. A weird construction that was habituated last year.
	Island in the lake. Similar tourist boat.
	Boat and island. Landing on a new island with lots of stuff.
