Vientiane

We've had a fantastic couple of days in lovely Vientiane. It's a beautiful little city, very French! Yesterday, we had our monthly dose of history and culture as we visited the National Museum and the victory monument, which is very pretty.


Last night we went bowling. Real life bowling, not Nintendo wii bowling. It turns out that we are much better at the Wii version of the game! It was a tough game but Nikki won by three points. Later we went to Blue Banana Bar which has every kid's board game from Hungry Hippos to Jenga, so we chilled there for the night with some beer Lao.


We were up bright and early this morning to do the rest of the sights. We walked for miles and miles around the city today. We visited Sisamet, a fabulous buddist temple containing over 10,000 small silver Buddha statues in the walls of the temple. It was very impressive! We went to That Luang, a very important Buddist monument which is surrounded by beautiful temples. On the way there we noticed two big musical fountains in a small park, which were very pretty and kept us both entertained for a while. Then we had a walk along the Mekong river and spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing by a hotel pool.


It's Nikki's last night of travelling before she heads of to Bangkok tomorrow and I leave for Luang Prabang, so this is the last blog entry from the both of us!
