We have been exploring the north the last 2 weeks, both in Vietnam and now in Laos. Poverty is more apparent in Laos than it was in Vietnam. But let’s first round up the last days in Vietnam.

Living with indigenous…kind of
It’s after Christmas already and I’m home since a week. It’s time to wrap up the last part of the trip and release it to where it will stay forever…a memory.

My time in Argentina is coming to an end. I head back to Chile…and more importantly Patagonia. There is a part of me that would be OK with going home and having a bath BUT I do look forward to the next 5 weeks a lot and they deserve all the attention and happiness I have in store for them 😀

…to see the king of the jungle.
But before I could do that I had some stressful days in Germany. Especially, since I decided to sell my RV before leaving to this trip. Alas, it is not sold yet but I have it at the same dealer I bought it from (and who sold my other one) and he is so kind as to sell it for me again. But that also meant that I had to get out all the stuff that was still in there, which felt like a move all-over again. Plus, I needed to do some repairs to get it in shape and clean it of course. Yes, yes, I would have had time all those months before. I know…but the decision to sell it was made quite hastily. In the end I thought I won’t need such a big RV anymore and it is more of a hindrance for me. Additionally, now should be one of the best times to sell it. RVs are sought-after due to the “pandemic”. We shall see 😀
And if that wasn’t enough, I decided to make 2 kilos of ice cream and 4 kilos of strawberry jam 
Like desert, like people…many beautiful faces
Finally we left Khartoum. It’s fine to spend a night or two in the capitol but then I need to get out.
We drove up north into the desert. Well, you don’t have to drive far away from the Nile in order to encounter barren lands but still the desert is another thing altogether. However, there is no one desert. It has many shapes.
