Laos, Vietnam - equal parts

---

Here are the long awaited (I think) photos of our last few days in Vietnam and our first few in Laos! I am in LOVE with Laos. It is so laid back, its not swarming with people and it is beautiful!

We have been in Vientiane for 2 days. Its been great. We have rented sweet petal bikes complete with the basket on the front, we have had experienced a herbal sauna/message, and we have drank Lao beer sitting along the river. We leave tomorrow to head up north for some river/innertube action. Its similar to tubing the Slocan River in BC - aka: huge party. I can't wait. Anyways, Ill update soon with stories of drunkard debauchery 😊

Later!

Horray for Halong
Here is the amazing scenery in Halong Bay. If you go to Vietnam you can't miss it! If so you might suffer from the ancient "Curse of the Springroll". You don't want it, trust me

I could wake up to this every morning
What we opened our sleepy eyes to...

Wonder where they get the shark meat from?
Now that this mystery is solved, how do they get the Caramel in the Caramilk bar?

On to Laos
The entrance to a really nice park downtown in Vientiane.

Entering the realm of massage

Our lovely massage beds

Who needs a bed of roses
When you can have a bed of kip? 50 USD changed into kip...

Beer Lao
Have fun tubing in Vang Vieng and drinking beer lao. Watch out for those lao lao whiskey shots!! Here are some Lao phrases to get by: sah bye dee = hello lah kon = good bye soke dee = good luck hong num = bathroom tall dae? = how much? pang lie! = too expensive! Lah kon and Soke dee!
