LP to Vientiane

Gotta boogie to Vientiane by rail today, but first breakfast and the museum. This is the first leg of the trip going backwards to the departure point, the well wishing bracelets are there to protect me and make the travel go smoothly. I have five of them on my wrists, one for each major leg of the trip, the universe knows and it's listening. Though my arrival might make a complete circle around the globe and match the departure point, the destination has changed in nature by a colossal measure.

It's a pleasantly temperate morning. No pictures in the temple and museum, strictly enforced and any taken are confirmed to have been deleted from your device by the personnel under warnings of police enforcement. I guess they take it seriously.

I say a warm goodbye to Tim and Chris and they wave me off enthusiastically. I'll have to get my motorcycle ready for travel like theirs I told them.

Arrival in Vientiane by 3pm, the exotic name is not descriptive of this somewhat uninspiring city compared to the other capitals in this area of the world.

Swimming in the salt water pool at this classic old wooden styled hotel with beautiful balconies around the pool area. Dinner is a last curry unless I have it again for breakfast.

The hotel is 15 minutes from the airport, I'll be ready tomorrow for the big 40 hour trip back state side.Baca selengkapnya
