Day 19 - Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng - Survived the dreaded bus ride.

Were picked up at our hotel to join the others in our mini bus to start the "5 hour" road trip to Vang Vieng. The road trip is notorious for its roughness, mountainous winding and is not popular with people with vertigo or travel sickness problems - so not one for you Charlotte! The spectacular views driving through the mountains and passing hilltribe villages made up for the road

The trip turned into a 7 hour drive, we were then dropped in the middle of town and had to make our own way to the hotel dragging our cases behind us.

We walked into town, had a drink at a riverside bar, found a place for dinner and sorted out how the river tripping went for the next day.
