We arrived in Vientiane after a 3 hour mini bus drive. It wasn't as bad as the drive on a VIP coach from Luang Prabang to vang vieng for 6 hours! I don't know what was VIP about it???
Vientiane is a nice city and up and coming. A lot of new buildings are going up and lots of big expensive 4 wheel drives around and flash cars so some people have money here!
When we arrived we checked into our guest house and then went out to check the area. We went down to the river front and watched the sun set over the Mekong. The food here is nice with a huge variety. We went to the museum, Haw Pha Kaew, which houses art and antiquities, which was good and also Wat Sisaket. The rest of the time we have been walking around the city. There isn't loads to do here so we only booked 2 nights accommodation. We have now booked our onward journey and have decided to go straight to 4000 islands as we wanted to be somewhere nice for Cols birthday. We have booked the sleeper bus which leaves tonight at 8pm, a 15 hour journey until we reach our destination, gulp, hope if flies by. The price was good considering the distance travelled and includes the boat across to the main island. I hope I still feel that way when I see the coach. Lol
Will let you know when I get there.
