Hey,
Not much to say but thought i would update it anyway!!
Well we got here on saturday and just went for a walk around really and walked up to vientiene's version of the arc de triomphe we went right up to the top which was good as good views, its higher than everything else here!! there arent any skyscrapers or anything so can see really far!! to get to the arc de triomphe thing we also walked past the presidential palace which is like an old colonial mansion but cant go in and look around!! then sunday we walked up to the waterpark as we wanted to know what it was as could see all the slides from the arc de triomphe thing! then we went to the market and mall that is attached to the market!! i got a gorgeous marcasite necklace and a lovely scarf and ian got a beer lao tshirt lol and we finally managed to get a laos lonely planet book for a reasonable price!! one stall said $40 which is just crazy!! then today we went to wat si saket, which is the oldest wat in vietiene as only one that wasnt destroyed in the siamese invasion and has over 10,000 buddhas!! then we went to pha that luang, which is a big stupa, its really big and all gold!! then spent ages driving around looking for the unknown soldiers monument as ian wanted to see it!! and turned out they had moved it so is really close to where we were and i had seen it from the entrance to pha that luang but forgot and didnt know what it was anyway!!
Tonight we are getting a sleeper bus to Pakse and from there we are going on to 4000 islands which should be good!! then prob back up to vientiene then vang vieng and luang prabang!! time is going so fast!!
Take care xxxx
