Hi have been in Vientiane the capital of Laos today & tonight.
We caught a mini van from Vang Vieng which took about 3 hours. The journey here was more scary than all the stuff we have done so far zip lining, elephant riding, tubing included! The driver was a maniac! There aren't really any obvious road rules in Laos anyway & it seems if something gets in the way just overtake it but this driver was crazy! I felt like my head was going to fall off my neck! Driving in Laos is never comfy as all roads have huge bits of road that isn't tarmac'd & there are always herds of cows loose on the road that you have to navigate round. But our driver did all of this at tremendous speed making it a very bumpy ride!
Anyway we managed to get here in one piece unbelievably. We are staying in a nice hotel which we actually came back to for an afternoon nap after lunch to recover!!
We went for a wander round Vientiane before having a nap but actually having a nap seemed more interesting! Its nice don't get me wrong. It's very chilled out but coming from Vang Vieng quite frankly it's a little dull!
We did go to a French restaurant for dinner which was amazing! I had the best meal i've eaten in weeks. Chicken breast with mushroom sauce with veg & fries. Followed by chocolate fondant!!! Mmmm western food! I have missed cake!
Off to Cambodia tomorrow & we celebrated with our last Beer Laos of the trip!
Up early tomorrow for our flight so night night. Will be interesting to see what Laos airways has to offer tomorrow...!
