Vientiane, Laos

Arrived at our pre-booked hotel in Vientiane only to eventually realise the hotel was full. We were unable to communicate with the receptionist at all who displayed nothing but confusion as to why we had arrived at the hotel. Words, gestures, even google translate would not work. After showing everything we could we finally made the decision to leave. Upon turning to leave I heard the word ‘sorry’ from behind, his first word. In excitement and seeing potential, I turned back in an attempt to rectify the situation but without success as I was met with the silence and fumbling we’d seen for the past 20 minutes. Today a memory was made.

Not far away we found another room for the night. After finally checking in we left for a walk around town and ate dinner. We spent the evening catching up on Vietnam planning ready for the flight in the morning.Leggi altro
