Vientiane Scooter Loop

February 19, 2014

Vientiane, the capital of Laos, was fun to visit for a few days but with prices still high for the Chinese New Year and tourists everywhere - we decided to load up and get out of town for a couple of days with our besties.

IMG 0002 2O and I decided to go tandem this time as it was only a short trip.

IMG 0008 3Patuxai, or the Arc de Triomphe of Vientiane, is a monument in the capital to honor those who died fighting for independence from France.

IMG 0020What can you expect?  We’re on a scooter adventure in a third world country.

IMG 0030 2We eventually found our way around the broken bridge and continued on our trip to the damn.  We found a lovely coffee stop along the river.

IMG 0037 2The damn was as scenic as we hoped and we made it just in time for sunset.
