Having the best bacon butties in SE Asia!!
... be spending Xmas and new year there. Lowlights Getting from Vang Vieng to Pakse. First was a nice VIP bus to take us to Vientiane, we were making good time until about 15km outside the town the bus breaks down. We didn't understand why it took 90 mins for another bus to come and fetch us and it resulted in not having time to eat dinner. We had to search for the sleeper bus to take us to Pakse. It left at around 7.30pm and we were given our ...
Tha Khek - Pakse - Transit stops

Luckily we all arrived ok ...
Creuant fronteres
... els tràmits, vam passejar pel poble, ens vam perdre, ens vam trobar i vam comprar els billets per anar a Don Det, a Si Phan Don (les anomenades 4000 illes del Mekong, al sud del país). Resulta que l’agència on vam comprar el bitllet és alhora una ONG-escola-internet cafè, i l’home ens va convidar aquella mateixa nit a celebrar un aniversari. Total, que vam acabar la primera nit a Laos bevent Beerlao amb un francès que porta 9 anys vivint a ...
