We have purchased tickets for an overnight bus to Vientiane, Laos' capital. It is a city of around 200,000 people which is mind boggling to think that it is the capital. The bus takes roughly 8 hours though I am sure it will take a little longer. There is also a meal involved which I am sure will be take place around midnight. Just in time to wake everyone up. We are fortunate enough to have friends of friends living in Vientiane that have offered us a place to stay. It will be a nice stopover considering the next bus we will need to take is an 18 hour poor road condition extravaganza of doom.
This trip starts our journey to Cambodia. Our itinerary for Cambodia so far is to visit Angkor Wat, find a small town to stay in and observe, and to head south to the beach. Angkor is supposed to be astounding the small villages are supposed to be welcoming and interesting to visit, and the beach is supposed to be the most pristine in the world with miles and miles of no one around.
We are very excited to be on the move. Laos has been a restful experience for us which is exactly what we needed at this point in our travels.
