This was easy. 4 hours on scenic Route 13 from Vang Vieng to Vientiane.

Before I got on the bus (10am) I had decided to walk around a bit along the river. It was early enough and I hoped for some nice views across the river to the mountains. I took a few pictures..

Beakfast at the Organic Farm Cafe in Vang Vieng.
Their Mullberry Shake is famous so i wanted to try it but they were out of Mullberries!

After Breakfast back to guest house to pick up my bag and off to the bus station.
got a descent seat (middle of bus, best to avoid motion sickness).

The first part of the route was again stunning. I actually shot a few pictures through the window hoping to get maybe one good shot.. Most of them are blurred since we were moving but I keep them anyway. The landscape is made up of huge limestone hills, maybe you can get an idea from the pictures.. It’s very similar to Guilin area in China.. including the mist/haze 😉
