Woke up to a heavy thunderstorm and grabbed some brekkie before catching the 5 hour bus to Vang Vien. It was actually a 7 hour journey through the mountains passing hill tribe villages and loads of kids playing and waving.
Rather than stop at the conveniantly located central bus station where he was supposed to stop, the driver kindly drove us out of the centre to a guesthouse where we asume he got commision! So now with our backpacks on and the heat baring down we set off for the 20 minute walk back into town. We found a nice room with a balcony in the centre - no flush on the toilet though and a bathroom door designed for midgets that Dave keeps whacking his head on and then screams out every obscenity under the sun.
We went to explore in the afternoon, it's a small town that is completley overun by backpackers. There's just loads of pizza joints and bars playing Friends and Family Guy everywhere. So we watched Family guy for an hour or 2 to escape the sun and then got some tea. We ordered Laos food but soon learned that in this town it is definatley better to order pizzas and burgers etc...
