10/03/2010 - Friends: real and on TV!

We were up early this morning as we had booked a mini-can to Vang Vieng. Before we left we had breakfast at our guesthouse’s little outdoor café overlooking the misty Mekong. The ride to Vang Vieng was bumpy, windy and crowded but made fun by the people we met on the bus.


Behind us were Maxim, from Italy, Debbie from the UK, Vicki from NZ & Marco from Spain. In front of us were Wilma & Wolfgang from Rheinstetten in Germany. We chatted and played 20 questions which made the trip go quickly. After checking in to our guesthouse and having a drink overlooking the river we walked into town and quickly took in the sights of this small rural town (basically a couple of Wat’s and dozens of establishments catering to foreign tourists). That evening we checked out the town – it was only small and found a bar for dinner (pizza) that played friends DVD’s continuously! We curled up with a glass of wine on the bed-style booths and pretended we were at home!
