A 4 hr. bus ride in a supposedly air conditioned bus, that was about 100 degrees, we arrived in Vang Vieng, a rather nontraditional Lao town, very hippyish, but a fantastic setting. We have a lovely room with an unbelievable view of these jagged mountains. This morning, after a very stormy night, our first rain and thunderstorms this trip, we set off for a 14 miles mountain bike ride through a beautiful valley to some remotes caves. There also happened to be a wonderful cool lagoon at the bottom, where we took a welcome swim after the big hike up to the caves. It's a very picturesque setting here and the river is clean and invites for swims.
Tomorrow we head off to Luang Prabang, another 6-7 hr. mountainous bus ride, but should be very scenic.
