On Valentine's Day, we took what has so far (knock wood) been the most uncomfortable bus ride of our trip. The "VIP" bus from Luang Prabang to Vientiane was a fully booked double decker and we had the corner seats in the very back row of the upper deck. Our driver drove like a maniac and an hour into our 10hr ride we saw thick black smoke billowing out of the engine. Luckily, our driver also turned out to be a mechanic and after he tinkered around with the engine for an hour, we were on the road again.
It was a long day but we arrived in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, safe and sound with more stories to tell and a new experience under our belts!
