first impressions

---

We got ourselves up nice and early as teh lady that runs BAP gusethouse told us we she would be able to get us a mini bus to Luang Namta. we had our brekkie and asked us what time it left she said she would come and get us "nice lady we thought" eeerrrrr nooooo.....she said she couldn't get us a mini bus but that she could get us on a normal bus for teh same price fair enough we thought...she said her son would take us to teh bus statin and it left at 930 eerrrr noooooo......she well ripped us off for the price of the bus and we had to wait until 1330 for teh bus so not really a great start for our first full day in Laos lets hoep that improves!
teh bus journey was pretty scary in places the driver was a lunatic teh road is properly complteted and at one point we almost had an avalanche on us! however teh scenery is worth teh terror ride its been pretty better than north thailand as tehy haven't yet had time to destroy it all!
i think this country is gonna be the hardest we ahve travelled so far but i'm sure its gonna be great adventure
