Well Vietiane, is what we would call 'rubble city' its so dusty and seroiusly manky compared to Luang Prabang! I miss it! though its savings grace is that it did have a jomas so i was able to have more veg lasagane!! Its the capital city and there is nothing to do! went on a very bumpy tuk tuk ride for a about an 1 hr to teh Buddah park with a few peeps, then the beer lao factory adn were given a free beer lao!! saw them bottling it which was quite good fun! Spent a couple of nights here before we geared ourselves up for a few hard days!
