Vivetiane

Sabidee,

We are in Vivetiane, the capital city of Laos.. We got here yesterday and we leave tomorrow morning for Lak Sao which is our last stop in Laos before we go over the border to Vietnam.

We left Vang Vieng yesterday morning about 7am and got a local bus which took about 5 hours to do 150km as the roads aren't great here.. Was defo the most basic bus yet and at one point someone got on with a box of baby chickens, was comedy and our luggage was thrown on the roof rack!!!

Whenw e got here we went for for some lunch and then went to the National Museum and a temple..

Last nignt we went out for dinner down by the Mekong River area.. Food was lovely and bloody cheap...

Today we have been to the Buddha Park which is about 25km out of town.. Couple more days in Laos and then we meet up with Jane in Hanoi, should be fun!!!

Lots of Love
Lee and Lucy
