February 2017 Special (Vientiane, Laos)

March 20, 2017June 3, 2020GALLIVANTINGLaos, Vietnam

One easy way to apply for a Thai tourist visa, for now anyway, is at the Thai Consulate in Vientiane. And so it was that we ended up in Laos this month. I had been to Laos before in 2013, but that had been in the north near the Chinese border. This trip was to the capital, Vientiane. Laos is a land locked country.

Laos and Thailand Week 32: 17.06.2013 - 23.06.2013 Monday:- Lazy morning. I woke up feeling about 150 years old. Every part of my body ached including my hands. We had breakfast at the Eco restaurant over the road - I had the big breakfast. Basically Laos version of the full English. I was hungry and relished every single mouthful.

I signed up. Now for breakfast which was a Louise combo special. Breakfast
