Apr 8th, our
plane to Laos.
Martin had his first swim on April 9th. |
 |
 |
Lovely morning pool. 60
meters long.
Our hotel block B.
June makes a workaround. |
 |
 |
Apr 10th, old
Sokedee has become Lucky Hotel. No Sara.
Everything in the old pool is destroyed. Only
a heap of rubbish left. |
 |
 |
The old pool is
completely fenced off.
Just a massive construction site. |
 |
 |
Khan driver is enjoying
his local food.
Martin is enjoying his
640 ml beer. They are big in Laos. |
 |
 |
June watching Martin and
Khan having a beer.
Apr 11th, back at the range. |
 |
 |
SEK our instructor
chasing balloons.
Martin just made a few new ones. |
 |
 |
One of the 35 ranges on
the premises. Watch the video.
June and Martin with the
balloons of the day. At US 2,- a pop, it is an expensive pleasure. |
 |
 |
June
having a go at the balloons.
Martin tries too, but
misses a lot. Hard to see with
cataract on your eyes. |
 |
 |
Apr 12th, in the evening, we
visited the bridge over the Mekong to Thailand.
The Friendship Bridge. Watch our video. |
 |
 |
The old pool completely
demolished.
The Chinese haven't left
much left. |
 |
 |
The
Youree Restaurant in Vientiane
is Martin's favorite in this town..
The food is fantastic,
the service effective and fast. Tremendous choices. Well worth visiting. |
 |
 |
Martin with eggs all
over his face from breakfast. |
|
 |
Sunday Apr 13th
was the last shooting day. Martin here to buy ammo.
The ammo is too
expensive. They are pricing themselves out of the market with USD 1.80 for a
.22 round. Too high. A 7.t3 rimmed sniper round at 5 USD? Who will pay that? |
 |
 |
Martin preparing the
balloons. Fun to shoot at.
June getting some
instruction on her shooting techniques. She outshot Martin every time.
Watch the video. |
 |
 |
Martin is suffering from
cataract and is due to get his eyes fixed on June 2nd, 2025,
exactly 112 years after his father was born.
Watch the video.
June is much
better. She got 9 out of 11 balloons. Martin got none.
Watch the video. |
 |
 |
Time to visit Soekedee
Hotel, now Lucky hotel where Sara used to be boss. Here with a bunch of
Koreans.
Martin pouring Beer Lao from a 640 ml
bottle. Really king size.
Martin is posing
his favorite Korean question. What does foreigners want to see in South
Korea? |
 |
 |
Martin chatting to the leader of the group,
Kim.
His English was
good, and he promised to contact Martin via email. They never do. |
