I've hired a car and am now travelling north with Bill, just arrived at Vang Vieng where we will stay overnight. on to Phonsavan (plain of Jars) tomorrow. the roads are really bad we are travelling on the main highway north and it is full of potholes, the road is deteriorating and little maintenance appears to have been done.
after Phonsavan we plan to stop at Luang Prabang the ancient Laos Capital. then decide what to do next, maybe keep heading north before returning to Vientiane on Sat. I'm still pretty sore, find it difficult to lay down and get up, and must have also knocked my right hand badly as it is sore and swollen, but nothing that wont heal. its an interesting experience driving here on the right, you have to keep reminding yourselves that you have to drive on the wrong side, while avoiding potholes, other vehicles swerving all over the place, and animals that could do anything. travelled 190 km today, much of that under 30 km because of the roads.
