We made one stop, at a roadside cafe, then finally at Vang Vieng around 5.30pm.<br><br>What then ensued vis à vis accommodation I blame Rough Guides for thoroughly, and I will definitely be writing to them about this. Despite the plague of tuk-tuk drivers swarming around us, Mark and I walked ...

... the only westerners in the place).<br><br>We were due to leave Vientiane by Sleeper Bus on the Friday Night, so we had all day to kill. The original plan was to go to the waterpark, but it did nothing but rain all day. So instead it was spent chilling out and going to the internet cafe to catch up with the world. It was also time to say goodbye to 3 more members of our group. Denis and Maurits were heading north to Vietnam, and Lisa was heading to Bangkok. Leaving just 6 of us to ...

Un bus express qui doit durer 8 heure...mais qui finit en 11 heure de route interminable (plusieurs stops et une panne en chemin). Le panorama est superbe...mais en epingle. Le trajet pourrait facilement etre ...

... I think we had interrupted his favorite TV show and Scott's continued attempts at asking questions were met with massive disapproval from the disgruntled old man. The final nail in the coffin came when, due to the heat, I must stress, I rearranged myself, discreetly, I thought, but not discreetly enough to ensure that the miserable owner did not see, after which he proceeded to throw a wobbly. It was time for us to leave!<br><br>XXX

Luckily, being neither after my encounter with the Israeli, I spent a sleepless night in the foetal position until we reached our destination at the crack of dawn.<br><br>Lara and Victoria spent the day sightseeing in Vientiane, whilst I opted only to walk across the road and indulge in a pedicure and manicure for the princely sum of £4. Well, a girl&#8217;s gotta treat herself sometimes.

We had drinks at the riverside with a couple of British guys she was with, then we all went for food.... we ended up eating in an ex-Pat pub and I had pie and mash..... mmmmmmm! So naughty but so good... and of course it was lovely meeting Steph after all ...

Tues.12 May. Nong Khai - Vientiane. With not having had a very good nights sleep with creepy crawlies sharing our bed we were up nice and early to go to the post office and grab last minute provisions before heading over to Laos. A shocking day weather wise - it rained and rained which was a pity as we were so looking forward to fabulous views driving over the Friendship Bridge. Not to worry, I still managed to take a couple of pics in between the wiper blades. We arrived at Thai ...

... but who would say no to free wine?! The next day we had breakfast in one of the bakeries then headed out to see the sights of Vientianne. The first of these was Wat Si Saket, the oldest temple in Vientianne, although we only got to see the outside as it was shut at the time. We then headed Talat Sao Market, but it was so packed full of people and stalls selling similar merchandise that we didn't stay too long. Our next stop was the COPE centre ...
