will take you away from the crazy motorbikes of Hanoi, through the beautiful mist-surrounded mountains of Laos, and into the UNESCO town of Luang Prabang. Despite many stories of horrible bus rides here from Vietnam, we made it, (sadly?) without any horror storeis - oh, except for being scammed, onces again in Hanoi, and having to 're-purchase' our bus ticket from the capital, Vientiane to LP! Another reason, I'm glad to leave there.
We arrived bright and early here at 6:30 am, found a place to stay for US$4! Grabbed some breakfast and then started exploring town. We walked around, and when we were walking by one of the many temples here, some young monks called us in. We went in and chatted to them for a while - they just wanted to practice their english! They even gave us some bananas!!
Anyway, now it's time for some quick research for the remainder for our month, before heading up the mountain to see th etemples and sunset.
Loves & misses,
Chanel :)

Good morning Chanel,
That Laura was up early doing her 'blog reading' prior to heading to work!!
As per my email, I relieved you made it safe & sound, albeit a little lighter on funds thanks to the scam artists...all in a day's work!
I hope you can tear yourself away from researching your next excursion long enough to take in the current location!
Lots of love & misses right back at ya!

You can never out smart those people on the street. They may not have much of standard education but they know who "their" system work.
Enjoy your journey.
