Vientiane, Laos

It is just a quick flight from Phnom Penh to Vientiane. The capital city of Laos has to be the quietest, most laid back we have visited. Our taxi (we were not even offered a tuk-tuk!) was air-conditioned...real luxury. We spent a few days relaxing, seeing the sights (not many in a city of 200,000 people) and eating the excellent baguettes and coffee - remnants of this once French colony.

Us at the Pha That Luang, the golden Stupa behind us appears on all the national currency


Rebecca at the Laos version of the Arc de Triomphe - Patuxai


Rebecca cycles through the main street of Vientiane. They seem to have a passion for roadworks only us brits can match!

Stephen and his 25p rented bike. Yes, it is too small AGAIN.

They should have bikes over there with your own special size, you can imagine it now. " I'll have a Stephen size please!!" You never know if you send that photo off you could be on the national currency infront of the tower too.
The photos are stunning.
