Vientiane

Vientiane was another example of a places that i really liked in spite of people saying "it's only worth a day there's nothing to do". It's was definitely the most chilled out capital I've ever visited.

But to start from the beginning...

I had planed to book a bus to Hanoi but after some research, concluded it was called the 'Hell Bus' for a reason and so booked a flight!

I used the extra day to visit... The national (formally revolutionary museum) with plenty of mentions of the "American Imperialists and their puppets"... I also managed to fit in the national football stadium, the local Market, the national symbol temple and the Laos version if the Arc de Triomphe!

But the most fun I had was a back to the 90's trip to a Laos bowling alley! The picture says it all. (Superbowl Milton Keynes I'm thinking of you...)




Hanoi look great so far (in spite of the English temperatures and rain)...

As always we'll speak anon
