Hello everyone! Im still in Laos at the moment and have been in the capital for a few days, Vientianne. There isnt really that much to do here so to be honest we have been drinking quite alot (no surprise there then!). We are leaving tonight to go to Vietnam which im looking forward to as we have got some good reports about it and theres plenty to do but we have got a 23 hour coach journey ahead of us which we are dreading! We meet a guy from Portsmouth when we were in Luang Prabang, Rob, and we have been staying with him for the past few days as its nice to have some one else to talk to and go out with. As there is not much to do here we have been swimming for the last couple of days in the local pool which was quite amusing as the local school children have their swimmimg lessons there and its funny to watch how they are taught, most of them just play around and chase each other! Jenny, Rob and i also went bowling a few days ago which again was rather amusing as i was rubbish and nearly cracked the bowling ally as i was just dropping the bowl rather than trying to aim it down the middle, well i havent been bowling for about 10 years though! We also went to see the Arc De Treumph which is a rather spectacular arch way made out of concrete and the story behind it was also quite amusing as the Americans gave Laos the concrete to build an airbase with and they built the arch instead, he he! So all in all we have just been eating and drinking alot while being here but hopefully i will have more to report back on when in Vietnam! Bye for now, Love Sara xxxxxx
