Did we say 16, we meant 26, hours on a bus!
Okay as promised some more Laos photos
This is on the road back from the waterfall day trip, I wish the lady had been closer as she had a huge smile on her face
The view from the top of the waterfall, the hike was grueling but worth it
We jumped in and then lay on the top looking down into all the other pools from the photo above this, it was surreal
Look Sean and Paddy Gecko's
Another spectacular sunset
Thank God this is nto the bus that we are about to get on
We decided to be cheap and take the bus from Vietanne to Hue in Vietnam, the poster said it would take 16 hours. I am not sure who is still learning to count but it took 26 hours, it was not fun and we were not very happy backpackers. The 1st 12 hours were not so bad except for the blasting music but in the 2nd half we got share the bus with 4 fridges
Once we got to vietnam the rice fields were picture perfect
We finally arrived here late last night and were dropped on the side of the highway. We called a ritzy(by local standards) hotel and they came to get us, we are splurging and spending 2 nights there. Today we went to see the forbidden purple city here in Hue
What remains of it was cool to see, sadly a lot of it was destroyed in the war
We stopped for lunch at this great little place and got to make our own spring roll style wraps, they were amazing
Then we walked back tot the hotel for a swim, tomorrow we are off to Hoi An.
