Transport in Laos - Getting around and carrying stuff

This post is especially for my nephews and niece who might find this interesting - Lachlan, Thomas, Finn, Alanah and maybe even Joel will enjoy it too.

Here's just SOME of the ways that Lao people get around and carry stuff. Although it's a pretty quiet place really, there are lots of cars and motorbikes and tuk tuks around - especially when you are trying to cross the road and it's raining and there's no gap in the traffic!

You can see these pictures more clearly if you click on them - they should open up as a larger image.
Hope you enjoy them!
