Phonsavan & Vientiane
I've finally arrived in Vientiane last night after a 11hr bus ride from Phonsavan (was supposed to be 8!!).
So far, it looks very promising as there's lots of great restaurants around here.
I spent 3 days in Phonsavan before coming here and really liked my time there.
I splurged a little in spending 40$ for a guided tour to the famous plain of jars. I really don't regret it. I got to see the 3 main sites, 2 of which would have practically impossible to reach via public transport. I had a private driver and a private guide for almost 6 hours. 40$ is a lot of money here, but for what I got, I think it was well worth it.
My time in Phonsavan really educated me a whole deal on the troubles that Laos has had to go through in the last few years as it was a central point of the "Secret war" being waged in Laos during the 1960s. I will talk about the Secret war in a separate post.
As far as what's coming up is concerned. Chris will be meeting me in Vientiane on Tuesday or Wednesday. Then we need to head south, I have less than 2 weeks left on my visa and about 1 month total for my vacation (time just goes way too fast!).
Don't worry, pictures will be uploaded very soon!
