Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang

Spent most of the day, about 7 hours, on a bus travelling to Luang Prabang today.  Unlike the other trip the bus was full this time so things were a little crowded on the bus.  Still the scenery on the way was amazing as the road winds through the mountains

The bus stopped once on the way about 1100 but since most of us had just eaten just before getting on the bus none of us had anything at that stop.  After all, it’s not lunch yet….. wrong.  That was the only stop the bus made so lunch did not happen.  Just as well I had some water with me and since the person sitting next to me did not speak English the ipod really came in handy.

Strangely enough the prices in Luang Prabang seem to be a little inflated in comparison to those in Vang Vieng, though we’re talking about 0.20c here and there so it really does not make a difference.  It only seems a lot since prices are in Kip so the difference in price is in 1000’s which seems like a huge difference until you convert it.
