Hello Everyone, Our minibus journey to Vientiane was only 2.5hrs. When we arrived we set off to find ourselves a hostel. Everything seemed to be quite expensive but we found a place for a reasonable price right on the waterfront. The following day we got up and decided to rent a moped and see the sights. First we set off to the COPE Centre which is a charity that supports all the people in Laos that are affected by scatterbombs. We searched for the centre f...

They also like to drive very fast here, even with the very bad roads and driving round cliff edges lol. We were glad we went for the minivan instead of ...

Sabaidii (Hello in Loa)We arrived at the Thai/Loas border crossing after leaving Chiang Sean in a Tuk-Tuk which we shared with a Chinese guy who we shared all our Chinese stories with on the 1 1/2 hour journey. Arrived at Chiang Kong on the Thailand side of the Mekong River to get our passport stamped and buy a boat ticket for the crossing over to Huay Xia in Loas. It was all very laid back surprisingly with our passports being stamped no problem not even check...
