Breakfast at Croissant d’Or again, we love this place! Checked out of Lovan and walked around. Stopped for coffe and tea at Croissant d’Or and checked email. Back to Lovan to wait for bus to Vang Vieng. The ride to Vang Vieng was about 3 hours. Lots of bamboo houses on stilts and winding mountain roads. Incredible scenery, beginning to see how most people in Laos live. Arrived in Vang Vieng with little daylight left. Found a guesthouse with okay room for $3/night. Had dinner at Xayoh Hotel on the Nam Xong River. Walked to Xayoh Downtown Restaurant for our first tasting of lao-lao (Lao moonshine). The main drag in Vang Vieng seems like how Khaosan Rd. might have been 20 years ago. Definitely a place for people to chill, especially if you want to catch up on new DVD releases or the latest episode of Friends. All the roads in Vang Vieng were dug up—they’re paving and putting in drainage canals, so the whole town was all dirt roads.
