We had flights booked to Bangkok from Hanoi but of course all hell broke loose there and we were forced to divert to Laos instead....which was our original plan anyway !
And what a nice place it's been too.Very little traffic or hassle. Stunning mountains.So relaxed I've (almost)forgotten what stress is.Bliss.We arrived in sleepy capital Vientianne and chilled by the river, read some books and ate lots of nice French food.Next up, reality was biting, and we had a very trying 10.5 hour bus ride north through mountains (incredible scenery though) on awful roads to Luang Prabang only to be told on arrival that the hotel we had booked was full.Stress memory returned quickly! However we quickly relaxed after getting another room and the next day wandered this lovely UNESCO town in a relaxed haze of bliss.Its where the Mekong and another less memorably named river meet.We booked an Elephant trek,made some friends and wandered around.I got to watch Arsenal beat Chelsea scumbags away.Heaven !

Dude, if you know of THE Almighty God, the God of your anscestors, why are you showing her that? If the following isn’t too relevant, that’s poifectly understandable; yet, Christ the King is always relevant if thou knowest where thou goest --- Read the signs of the times (between the lines) and know God’s a concrete, coherent reality (check-out ‘Lui et moi’ by Gabriel Bossis, too)!
