35 Manor International Sports Hotel is situated out of town and close to a fantastic shooting range, 5 April Shooting Rang

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.

     

Apri, 14th, 2025, it was time to return to Vietnam.
