It was an 11 hour bus ride from Hanoi, across the Vietnam border into Laos. The landscape has changed immensely, Vietnam is quite flat, but Laos has huge mountains with a mysterious mist hanging over them, it's very beautiful. Vientiane is the captial of Laos, which is surprising as for a capital city it isn't very busy, with traffic or people, unlike Phnom Penh and Hanoi. We took a tuk tuk to to Pha That Luang, meaning 'world precious sacred stupa'. It's Lao' most important national monument and a symbol of Lao sovereignity and Buddhism. It was very impressive.
