we were just on a 9 hr 45 min bus ride from Luang Prabang to Vientiene and now we get to be on an 11 hr bus ride to Pakse. YEAH! the first one wasn't so bad even with the super curvasious road b/c i took a dramamine and had barely slept the night before. unfortunately the little boy monk sitting in front of me had forgotten to take his dramamine (if monks can even take it) and was quite ill the whole ride. poor thing. he had his robe wrapped around his head the whole time. but luckily the bus didn't break down this time so we made it almost on time.
this ride will take us to pakse where we will get on yet anohter bus to go to the 4 thousand islands region of the mekong river delta. were going stay on don khong island and probably rent a scooter to ride around it. we might have to stay there longer than the 2 days we had planned b/c we need to get the visas into cambodia and assumed we could get them at the border with laos but we all know where assuming gets you. the book says there are no places to get cambodian visas over land from laos. humph.
luang prabang was great. we met a couple people to hang out with and went to a wat xieng thong and walked up phousi hill and of course hit the night market for some good deals! the 2nd whole day we were there my tummy wasnt feeling quite up to par so i skipped the waterfall and slept instead. beard went up with the crew and had a great time, saw bears, and amazingly enough, didn't get hurt.
im not sure how the internet situation is down south so i don't know when ill be updating again.
