Ban Pako Eco-Lodge Vientiane

... was pretty much the only decent bar in Vientiane - Khop Chai Deu - where we instantly spotted Darren and a few other guys we had been on the slow boat with, who had been travelling the same route as us ever since. We got some drinks and stayed till the place closed around 11am (Vientiane really knows how to party), then headed back to the hovel. The place looked even worse late at night than it had done earlier in the evening, if that was possible. After negotiating our ...

Vientiane - what a change from Vietnam - this place is so chilled out - there are no hawkers trying to sell stuff to you - or tuk tuk/ taxi / cyclo drivers trying to rip you off - yes this is a welcome change from Hanoi. This may be because it is less touristy here.<br>For a capital city it is small only 200000 people - but the size probably adds to the charm. It is on the ...

... laughing at one - he had been beaten to a pulp with a handbag. It would be just my luck!<br><br>I enjoyed a continental breakfast, croissant and espresso. These are things I miss here but Vientaine has provided a glimpse of France at a welcome time. After just one night we're headed north for Vang Vieng in the mountains. As we pass through the Rues and Boulevards of the city I realise I rather like this strange piece of France in ...

... sweat!!! Our minor excursion to the our room, that was predictably on the top floor, would have been boringly easy under pretty much any other circumstances.<br>The room &#8211; at the end of a thin corridor of rooms with curtained windows directly onto the corridor&#8230;a bit weird in itself - was at first glance was ok&#8230;lots of dark wood but it was only once you started to experience it fully that the gaps in the windows, the bright hotel sign ...

... millions of unexploded bombs in the rural areas... you read about this stuff, but I hadn't really 'seen it' or 'felt it' anywhere.... <br>So the next morning Matt and I headed to COPE, the national centre that gives people wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs and rehabilitates them.<br>There is an amazing visitor centre on site... it's only small but we spent hours there, reading the boards and watching documentaries and interviews - learning about everything from the bombings to the ...

Dan, Laura, Mikey and I travelled do Vientiane together however this was where we went our separate ways. It took all of 5 minutes before I bumped into my friends from Thailand. <br><br>A lot of people do not like Vientiane however I had a great time ...

... in large clay pots in the centre of each table. We sat down in front of one and a man brought us a stone bowl with coals heating in it, and placed a large clay pot of broth on top of that. He then brought us three packs of uncooked noodles, two plates with beef, prawns, squid, liver and eggs on them, as well as a plate of green vegetables and been sprouts. He told us all we had to do was put what we wanted into the pot for two minutes and it ...
