I arrived after a night in the bus fighting with my seat mate to get the best position to sleep: I think that I win as I had one foot on the front seat and another on the seat of the other range and she was trying to get some space and kicking me from time to time...
I made my Vietnamese visa in less than half an hour (I thought initially to spent at least 2 days: not bad)
As I arrive at 6 AM with my bus I had the full day for me to visit the town so I rent a bike and I went to Pha That Luang one of the most important Vat of the country and then I just lost my self in the street.
By now I think I will go tomorrow in Vanvieng to meet some friends and then I will take the direction of Vietnam.

Laos...
Mmmm, a few things:

- don't forget to drink as much wine as you can in Laos, as it will be hard to come by later...

- before you start tubing and get totally addicted to it, try rent a moto and have a look at the caves, they are very very long. There is even one you can go in floating on a tube

- The karstic formations will give you a preview of HaLong Bay... try put your head upside down in water, to the point that your eyes touch the surface, and admire the landscapes, completely drunk... A new vision!

- On the big big trapeze, I did a back salto. Challenge... (note that one of my familly jewels hurt for two weeks after a bad landing)

- Vang Vien, hahahaha
