We arrived in Pakse at 6 in the morning, it was pooring with rain, and we were to realise, that Vientiane isn't the dullest city in Laos, nope that title should surely go to this small, fairly dirty, very uninteresting place!!! After finding a hotel (finally), Sean and his girlfriend/wife (the South Africans) had found one but the rooms were abit too pricey for our selves, so we had to continue our search, eventually settleing on a Chinese hotel, which turned ou...

So a full day in our least favoured city!!! We started the day by booking our tickets out of the city for that night, Linnea had been asking if we could try and get a sleeping bus, one with actual beds, and although we hadn't thought they'd actually do one, we found they did but it was an extra 50000 Kip so we decided against it.

You will have t...
