Come take a walk with me.

Hanoi to Luang Phabang

Hello from Laos!!

We have just completed 33 hours of travel and yes I do feel like having a buttock lobotomy. The trip started at 19:00 in Hanoi, we arrived at Laos - Vietnam border at 06:00  and left again at 09:00…. most of that time was spent staring at people who were supposed to be doing their job but instead they were more interested in talking to each other or looking at stamps in your passport. Everyone wanted extra money! For leaving the country, for entering the country and for giving you a stamp! Its like a final kick in the nuts after a whole country trying to squeeze every $ out of you.

The trip continued to Vientiane, arriving at 16:30. We decided this wasn’t enough punishment and pushed on to Luang Phabang another 10 hours!! 18:00 to 04:30 was spent on a shity bus designed for hobbit people who like to sing karaoke at obscene hours!

 Since we arrived so early we spent 2 hours at the road side drinking Beer Lao. Its amazing how early people get up here!! It turned out to be a fun experience if you can forget all the pain, we even go to see monks receiving alms during sunset.

 The last few hours have been spent drinking Laos coffee, which is just as strong as Vietnam’s! and trying to sleep through building work…
