We left Luang Prabang and headed for the airport.. we were off to Vientiane , the capital of Laos. Boarding the smallest plane ever it was so strange to be flying with 11 other people we knew. The flight only took an hour and we were soon enough at our hotel in the capital. To be honest we didnt do much here, there were a few options on visits to temples but most of us decided to use this time to chill we chose to catch up with our neverending blogs and pictures for you guys..
We spent the evening at a rooftop bar overlooking the river and guess what!!! we found Bundy Rum.. oh yes , that was it.. it was so cheap we bought a bottle! GET IN! the taste transported us straight back to Oz with amazing memories and we were very happy!
Dara took us for lunch at a restaurant called Makphet around the corner from the hotel. This restaurant is a charity and takes young people off of the streets to teach them how to cook and to give them a trade. They then take these skills to gain employment. They have a shop upstairs where they use recycled products to make bags, purses and bracelets...we felt that we should help the cause and got a bracelet each.. u know us!
During the evening some of us went to a restaurant with traditional Laos dancing... we ate, had good conversation and enjoyed their performances whilst eating our meals.. such a nice evening!
So in short we ate , ate and ate some more... next stop our homestay. Something we have both been excited about from the beginning!
