A couple of photos of our day in Bangkok:
Next we got a train to Loas, which was 1,000,000 times better than the bus! We each had space to sleep and had a pretty good nights sleep so will definately use trains in the future, when we are able to but seeing as Laos has no trains that won't be for a little while.
The train:
We've been in Vientiane for two nights, it's very chilled here, feels more like a peaceful town than a capital city. The traffic seems sooooo much slower and less crazy than Thailand. We looked around some of the shops yesterday and I got a few cheap dvds and a couple of paintings for my wall next year. Then today we went to Buddha park, which is a park full of Buddhist and Hindu sculptures.
Tomorrow we are of to Vang Vieng for two nights, should take about 3 hours to get there. Below is a picture of a very busy shopfront and a picture from Buddha park!
Laos sounds lovely and relaxing. Hope you are enjoying Vang Vieng. Are there fewer backpackers in Laos? I'm enjoying reading your blog entries. Love Mum x
ReplyDeleteI miss you! And your trip sounds amazing, I wish I was there. I understand what you mean about the crazy traffic, it was like that in Africa too! The Buddha park sounds really interesting, seems like a good place to go for some artistic inspiration! Have you done any drawings? Anyway, have fun x
