Dansavanh Nam Ngum Hotel Vientiane

... pas the awful stench at the bottom of the stairs, emanating from an unknown location, we climbed the stairs and then had to use my phone as a torch because the owners had kindly omitted to install lights in our part of the corridor. I went to use the horrible dirty bathroom with its meagre water supply, then back in the room decided there had never been a more necessary time to get my sleeping bag liner out - there was no way I wanted to touch the hideous sheets. We went to sleep.<br>

... river (Yes this river gets everywhere in South East Asia). The roads are a lot wider than Vietnam and there is a lot less bikes than Vietnam.<br>To be honest there is not a lot to do here - but it is good just to chill out.<br>Also did the usual round of temples and buildings - these were good - but i have to say i am a little templed out, and nothing is as spectacular as ...

... far east. They even have a rather garish effort of the Arch de Triomphe as a central monument - although I'm not so sure what this represents. Hippy stores selling crafts neighbour the cafe's and bars as if some ex-pat parisians have cross bread with the hippys and created this hybrid place. There's only one thing missing here though, and I'm afraid it's a fundamental error on the French side - The choice of wine is bloody aweful!!!

... the front window and the pretty nasty bathroom became fully apparent. It&#8217;s at times like this that you just have to sit back and think how much you&#8217;ve paid for the room and then re-evaluate the feelings you are having. We parted with $25 (£15-ish) per night and I guess for that it became bearable, although their online review would warn future guests of this horrid little place. We had two nights to contend with and really it was not ...

... of fitting false legs.... it was powerful, mind-blowing stuff. <br>Even though the bombing ended 30 years ago, the problems are so 'now'.... when locals find a bomb, many will try and disarm it then sell the metal as they get such good money for selling the metal.... so there are teams all over the country (funded by other countries including USA - how ironic!) trying to clear the bombs...<br>The most moving bit for me was watching an interview with parents who's young boy ...

... city was nice enough plus there were plenty of crazy antics. I would recomend that anyone visiting the city takes a trip to the Budda Park, its about 20km outside of the city, it is odd, very odd. Watch out for the nightclub in the posh hotel. <br>

... be ready to eat. It was such a fun dinner, sitting cross legged by the side of the road and tasted really good as well. As we'd spent the previous day travelling we decided to stay in Savannakhet for one more night before we crossed the border into Vietnam. We visited Wat Sainyaphum which was very pretty and walked around, getting to know the town. In the evening it started raining very heavily and we got drenched as we were coming back from ...
