Well we ended up on a non VIP bus boooo! People sat in plastic chairs in the gangway, arctic aircon blasting on us, smell of booze on one of the bus workers breath, my chair wouldn't recline whilst Rob's reclined of its own accord and we were pretty sure he was going to wake up in the guy behind hims lap, my pillow got a puncture and we were treated to karaoke again before bed (the same girl we'd had the misfortune to have to watch the other night)...... then again at 4am (yes AM!) when the driver obviously got lonely!

Once arriving at Nong Khai we got a tuk-tuk to the border where we paid 36USD to get our visa (all pretty simple, filled in a couple of forms, paid). We then got a taxi to Vientiane and booked into a GH. Our room is great we have cable tv, a fridge, a hot shower and most importantly clean sheets 😊 Had a nice refreshing shower and a couple of hours sleep as needless to say sleep had been scarce in the last 24hrs. When we got up we found an ATM then had some tea (which turned out to be more like brekkie for me, cereal and toast, as it seemed like morning; Rob had a curry obviously).

Gonna eat cookies and watch some tv tonight and then explore round here tomorrow 😊
