Courtney. August 12, 2010 @ 14:22 After the craziness we experienced in Vang Vieng, we decided we needed to regroup.Vientiane, the capitol of Laos, is another 'quiet,' 'boring' city, and it has an airport so we booked a 4-hour bus ride and went to regenerate our batteries there.This is the bus ride I mention to some on which our driver stopped halfway through for a beer.
