Day 31: The capital!

Vientiane, 09.11.2019

Today we travelled to Vientiane, the capital city of Laos! The bus journey was around 4 hours which wasn’t too bad. On arriving, we went straight into a tour of the city stopping at a temple, the Victory gate (their version of the arc de triomph) and finally the COPE rehabilitation centre. This charity organisation promotes awareness about the 80 milliom cluster bombs that have not yet gone off in Loas. These were a result of the US bombing Laos during the Vietnam war and 3000 people everyday work to clear the land in Loas. Headed to the hotel to freshen up. Went to look at the night markets and then had dinner at a local restaurant. Watched an entertaining Lao drama and made up our own storyline! I headed to bed in good time while others went to a bar.

A Trip of a Lifetime!
