Sunday, 6th December Thank God for the Scandinavian bakery in Vientiane, after that journey a really good cup of tea and cinnamon bagel was much needed and appriciated.

Our driver said someone would meet us on the other side so with hope we got our visas stamped out of Cambodia, walked 100m up the road with no security checks and got stamped into Laos plus the usual departure and arrival taxes.
