Visiting the Plain of Jars.
Whakaputaina: 08.03.2019
03.03.2019: I woke up with a fever and a runny nose. Should I really continue today? Or should I take another day to recover here? In the end, I chose the former. I didn't feel too bad during the journey. (Image: some building in Phonsavan).
Nevertheless, I still explored the area a bit. Sitting in the room all day is boring. 
Passing by children playing football. 
In the evening, I drank eight cups of ginger tea. It really soothes my body. 
04.03.2019: Originally, I wanted to ride my bike to the attraction today. In the end, I booked the expensive tour from the accommodation. It's probably better with a fever. Although I was already feeling much better today. 
At the tourist information. 
Many old bombs. 
. 
. 
. 
. 
. 
Laos was particularly affected. To this day, they are still defusing bombs. It is recommended to only walk on marked paths, as something could explode beneath you anywhere. 
. 
Functioning. 
Here, the largest Buddha in Laos is currently being built. It will be 38 meters tall. 
Plain of Jars - Site 1. Translated as much as an area with vessels - complex 1. 
. 
. 
And there are the first ones. 
Until today, it is not exactly known where they come from. 
. 
At the end of the year, the sites will be declared a World Heritage Site. Then touching will no longer be allowed. 
A crater after an explosion. 
Sandstone on the left and limestone on the right. The sandstone ones are smoother. 
A large complex. 
. 
. 
Not all of them are round. 
There's even a little man depicted here. 
. 
A cave. 
. 
. 
As a dessert during lunch. 
Complex 3.

Our guide, who doesn't speak English very well, is sitting there. I may have understood half of what he said. 
Funny what the panorama function can do. 
Soon everything will be a World Heritage Site. Then this won't be possible anymore :). 
And one more thing, complex 2. 
There are various theories about the use of these vessels. On the one hand, bones were found in them or in nearby graves. Another theory suggests that they were used to mature Laotian rice whiskey. 
. 
Many of them contain rainwater. 
. 
. 
These strange caterpillars kept appearing. 
How much the stone has suffered over the years. 
. 
An Australian organization is exploring the area here. 
Also looking for possible bombs. 
However, this is the latest discovery. 
. 
This was found in a vessel. Hundreds of spiders. 
And another caterpillar. 
Dinner. 
At this place, I had the worst accommodation ever. Mold on the walls! The night before, I had slept here along with many other people. 
Another night? - Never! I took the night bus to Luang Prabang. Ētahi atu purongo haerenga
