Global traveller Lydia Laube had out her map again. Where could she go next? Her eye fell on one place she hadn"t visited - Laos, the Land of a Million Elephants. After enduring a close call with Thai immigration officials, Lydia made it into Laos, and discovered a people and land easy to love. Travelling by boat, tuk tuk or any other means possible, she experienced the majesty of the Mekong River, the awe - inspiring Caves of the Buddha and the mysterious Plains of Jars. Pink umbrella aloft, nothing could daunt our lone traveller - not even fire and flood. Lost in Laos is Lydia"s eighth book in a series of amusing and informative travel books. "Read twenty - six short chapters (stories) ...from "Land of a Million Elephants", through "Temples and tuk tuks", "Watch out your hairs", "Sin days", and "Have umbrella, will travel", finally "Into the Golden Triangle". Each one captivates, explains, and urges you to read on, what is the same connects and what is different amplifies." - Bonzer Online Magazine "Delightful armchair travel book." - Chronicle
