November 21, 2006 Tuesday It was a definite struggle to get up for a 7am public bus this morning. Luckily the seats werent bad and I managed to keep my seat to myself most of the way and get a little dozing done. It took about 3.5hrs to get to Vientiance. And I have to say I was less than impressed with the place. For the capital of Lao it is a lot less than I would have thought. Our hotel 'Hotel Lao' is great tho and has fantastic water pressure and heat. A few of us went to a walk withOng t...
Vientiane, Lao Peoples Dem Rep jacinta81It has been a little while since we've updated the blog but there are good reasons. Reason #1- My distaste for wood has prevented me from using a computer as most internet cafes have wooden seats and the computer is on some sort of wooden desk.(I really hate wood) Reason#2- After arriving at Luang Prabang we had a lot of sight seeing to do. We visited the old royal palace and a couple temples. The weather was very hot during the day, The next day we jumped on to another slow wooden boat for 2...
Vientiane, Lao Peoples Dem Rep jwilksMet local guide called Mr Tong. We thought he was going to explode he had that much positive energy radiating fro him. Made us feel really at home immediately. Settled into our hotel in the centre of the city. Vientiane is situated along the banks of the Mekong in central Laos and is one hell of a laid back place. People here simply glide around. The architecture here is heavily influenced by the french and there are beautiful old buildings everywhere, many of them embassies. As we leave tomo...

On ne voulais pas passer trop de temps a Vang Vieng comme vous l'aviez compris, on est donc parti le matin, pour la capitale Vientiane, mais avec 2 heures de kayak en chemin avec Barbecue Lao improvise au bord de la riviere par nos guide.
C'etait sympa de couper le trajet avec une activite a mi chemin, meme si le trajet n'etait ...
... out in our rooms we discovered several cockroaches, then on the wall above my bed happened to be the biggest spider any of us had ever seen, bigger than my hand out stretched! After several manly screams, and a half hearted attempt to get rid of it 'you kill it'... 'no you kill it!' we did the right thing and gave money for a kid outside to kill it for us (resourceful!) cue a sleepless night, constantly worried about giant ...
Vientiane, Lao Peoples Dem Rep mattcracknell... in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued ****** with a ***** weather front coming down from the north. Basically, it's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut. "
We're off to enjoy some cold ones, get some rest and get the camera sorted and will do some proper blogging with pics soon. Love to all

... common room with a couple of people, which was good as I've not managed to catch one yet. Until half way through when an ALMIGHTY thunderstorm broke out and the reception disappeared. So we watched the storm instead. The next morning we got a bus up to Vang Vieng which is very nice but will go on about in the next blog as we only just got here. That and this has taken me ages to write as Ben kept distracting me ;) (there you go) Until next time guys xxxx
Vientiane, Lao Peoples Dem Rep emmaandemma... def) dogs. We picked the cheapest gun, don't ask me what it was called, and had a go. I was very grateful that in our group i didn't come last (3rd out of 4!), but we all did really well one we worked out that the sight was slightly off. After our first round of bullets we all wanted to have another go with something bigger, unfortunately we couldn't afford it so we headed off to the monastery to meditate with some ...
Vientiane, Lao Peoples Dem Rep emmy-lou... unable to move we settled down for the 9 hour ride ...............at times we tried to convince ourselves that this wasnt so bad.......that we were lucky to have a rice sack .......but as i looked around, were it not for the smiley faces ..............that boat would have resembled an illegal immigrant trafficking (packed in like sardines) affair.....................the rice sacks that we were sat on are packed so tight that the only analogy i can think off is that ...
