Hi from Vietiane

Just a short one since i want to update this place with some nice pictures.. We've arrived yesterday in Vientiane. A little earlier then expected. First or driver from Chian Mai floored it till Udonthani where we did arrive about 1,5 hours before we were expected there. And then, since we had been sent to the second busstation to get to Vientiane adn finding there that we weren't allowed on the bus due to a lack of visa, we hired with 11 people a minibus to get to the border. Arriving there nicely before everybody else... We all filled in the necessary papers and handed over the required amount of cash and a lao visa we had.. More then half of the people from the minibus needed to go to the embassy so on the other end we hired a minibus again. So arriving nicely on time at the Thai embassy. Then a little hunting for rooms (it is after all high season). Sandra thought she needed to be spoiled a little so we got a really nice room (for the grand total of $15 including breakfast). And after she treated all of us to a 2 hour foot- backmassage... heaven...
