Nita Guest House Vientiane

... br>Un gros bisou<br>Cyril<br><br>Hallo Leute,<br>Ich habe ein paar Tage in Vientiane verbracht, um meine Visa fuer Myanmar zu haben. Die Stadt ist eigentlich nicht so interessant, ausgenommen dieser riesigen Pagoda (beeindrucken) und diesem kleinen Haus in der Mitte von Dschungel. Dort habe ich eine Sauna mit Kraueter gehabt (alles mit Holzfeuer !) und dann ...

... every time the bus turned right it felt like I was going to fall out, in fact a couple of times I came very close to doing so. This meant that I spent the entire 11 hour journey overnight wide awake, impressed I was not a lot. <br><br>We arrived in Vientiane at 6.30am and I was feeling very tired and snappy, but we managed to grab a taxi to take us into the centre of town. Once there we decided to check into the same hotel we had done previously as we knew what we would be ...

So here we are (royal we) in the most laid back capital city in the world. Only ones vertical are the *****s and they will soon be on their backs. The place come 9pm is rife with tarts. Keith Harris and Orville. That's *****-ville to you and me. Except no green duck with a mans hand up his ass, wishing he could fly, just lots of ladies in heels stalking on street corners or patrolling on mopeds. Wanting to come back to your hotel room and do very nasty ...

... up, rope knots, leading, spotting, etc. And the climbing was top notch! <br><br>Next we headed further North to Luang Prabang. This is a very old and quaint little French colonial town. There are lots of great restaurants, beautiful old Buddhist temples and an amazing night market where the Hmong locals sell all kinds of hand crafted jewellery, textiles, paper lanterns and other trinkets. There is also a street by the market lined with food vendors where ...

... 17th May Hannah, Nicole and I did a biking tour of the city, we went to see Pha That Luang which is a giant golden Stupa. We ran into Danielle and Katie from Nicole and I's slowboat to Luang Prabang. They are arriving in Hanoi the same day as us so we will try and catch up with them there. Hannah, Nicole and I also visited Puxtay, Vientiane's (unfinished ...

... cost that much!) and said we couldn't pay it all now so Ollie would leave his passport and return another day with the cash.<br><br>We walked all the way back into Vientiene and slept most of the day. We went back to the hotel and asked to speak to the manager but he'd apparently gone to Thailand to buy a new lock (?). We ended up in a dingy sports bar for tea and played pool.<br><br>Today we had a lunch deal in the ...

Best $62 I have ever spent! I caught the Lao Airways flight down from Luangphrabang to Vientiane instead of taking a ten hour bus ride and I am soo happy I did. One of my Israeli friends from the Purim celebration, Liron, was on the flight too so I had someone to talk to and someone to distract me from that feeling you get on a smaller plane that is constantly going up and down. Anyway, we made it and caught a tuk-tuk to the ghetto fabulous Sihom guesthouse ...

... was planned or not but my friend's dad speaks with a van driver and tells him what we would like to see while in Vientiane. While driving towards the city on the right side of the street I notice it is completely different on this side of the Mekong. It is much more impoverished in Laos. There are quite a few shanties but still some nice modern houses mixed in there.<br ...
