My Laos Trip

It was a long trip to Laos, and more interesting and exhausting than I expected. The two-day-on-bus travel was very tiring. It was a nightmare for some of my friends from the West.



Anyways, the border was beautiful in the morning



We started from Hanoi at 6:30PM and arrived the Nam Can border at about 5:15 AM, so we had to wait for the officers to work from 7:00 AM. It took more than 2 hours for the immigration procedures to be completed, way longer than I ever imagined.

I was on the bus to  Luang Prabang, so I had to get off the bus in middle of the way and take another bus to Vang Vieng. I stopped at Phou Khoun waiting for the next bus



This man on the left was responsible to take me to the bus, he was playing some kind of board game that I had no idea about.



And this is Vang Vieng



I joined this two lovely girls from England as we met on the hostel



We took a tuk-tuk to the Poukham Cave and Blue La Goon at Nathong Village in Vang Vieng



We enjoyed the cave so much




I left Vang Vieng on Sunday afternoon for Vientiane. The Laos' capital was so beautiful, and much more organized than the chaotic Hanoi. It has a breath of a furture modern city.








It was so good to walk around the city in the evening because the roads are clean and not much traffic. The only problem was that it's so hot and humid in Laos, there are even no wind at all. There are more cars than bikes and the streets were built with a good quality, so I thought I wanted to live in Laos and own a car.

Laos is not a too-deploited country like Vietnam, it still has the forests and the population is not very dense, actually it is ten times less densed than Vietnam.

I was happy to be able to see the beauty of Laos with my own eyes. I will come back to this country next  time.
