Day 7 - Closer look at Vang Vieng.

Sunrise is a wonderful moment in a day. Espacially when you associate it with breakfast…

Whilst all set, me and Monica start our journey to explore the very unique Vang Vieng in deatil, of course include food, *hungry*

Many Veggie serve with the main course, and the meal (shown above) only cost us 10,000Kip.

Yummy, yummy… veggie, veggie… food fiber is good for health…

Day 5 - Heading to Vang Vieng

In our initial plan, Luang Prabang is one of our destination, because of time factor, we have no choice but choose Vang Vieng as alternative. Which is closer to Vientiane, and consume less time on the bus compare to Luang Prabang.

Pagodas are landmarks all around City of Vientiane. As we walk around the city, a lot of pagodas and wats along our way to Talat Sao bus station.

The pagoda shown above name That Dam, located at a round-about north-east of the central city.

Right beside Talat Sao bus station, there is a market place. A lot of local fruits, food and drinks for sale, of course together with the famous Beer Lao.

Day 4 - Arrival in Vientiane

We woke up 4 o’clock early morning, after we found ourselves getting warmer in the bus cabin. We realise that the bus is parking at the road side, about 40km from the Cau Treo border, with the engine and air-con switched off.

This should not have happened, compare to what we’ve told by the operator. We guess, the border would not open for crossing even we’d arrived before 7:00am, and the bus driver find a safe place for the night.

Monica was sweating, me too. I suggested to get some morning breeze outside, at least to cool down our body temperature. We were actually in a small township, and the bus is parking in front of a guest house affiliate with Sinh Cafe.

It’s too early for any shop to start business, what else can you do in this situation? Too warm to sleep in the bus, too dark to walk around, too early to buy food or drinks.
