Yesterday, I decided to sprint from Sapa to Laos and ended up on 27 hours of buses to make the trip. The original plan to take it easy and maybe spend some time in Dien Bien Phu was changed almost as fast as I got on the bus. I met an Israeli girl who was traveling the same route and had some info about ongoing buses so I decided to tag along. Ended up taking three buses with less than an hour down time between to get from Sapa, Vietnam to Luang Prabang, Laos in 27 hours. Actually one of the more pleasant full days spent on a bus I have had. Taking the bike was a lot easier and cheaper than I was expecting.
Luang Prabang is as laid back and chill as I remember from before. This time I am looking forward to having more than 36 hours to enjoy and relax. Tomorrow I am going to be taking a cooking class for the day and the day after planning on biking to a nearby waterfall and maybe getting some swimming.
I forgot how annoying and pushy the people in Vietnam can be. Its too bad because it is a great country if not for the people. Sapa was nice and I am glad I went, but now I am also glad to be in a country where you are more likely to be completely neglected rather than harassed to by something at every turn.
Hopefully, I will be able to run into Pablo and Kristin by the end of the week in Pakse and we can do something together outside of China for a first.
