in vientienne

Phew made it out alive-this place is much nicer the capital of Laos is still severely chilled. We've spent the last 24 hours running around like mad trying to see the sights as we leave for the south (Pakse) in about 2 hours - Done the photos so gonna put them up here for ease starting with the latest and working backwards...

First up is That Luang (Royal Stupa) which was constructed in 1566 by King Setthatirat and restored in 1935. Super bling on a gold tip eh!

Next Up is the buddah park...me climbing in a giant concrete pumpkin containing heaven earth and hell....

The park is amazing really bonkers lots of mad hindu/buddhist statues - so that was this morning and this afternoon going back in time to last night there is a massive Laos copy of the Arch de triumph lit up at night which looks like this:
