Flew from Luang Namtha to vientienne today. Just waiting to get the night bus to pakse.

City has the same French influence as luang prabang. Still v poor. The convention centre is insanely lavish and there is a massive arc du triumph here too :)

Shared this waiting for bus. As always have to keep it safe before a long bus journey :)

Tasty baguette. Italian salami and salad. Rather tasty indeed.
