This morning we checked out and made our way to Laos' capital city, Vientiane. Our guide filled us in on some background on the journey there. On arriving, we were immediately taken aback by how clean and modern looking it was. There were proper roads and huge buildings. It looked like we were in Europe!
Today we had a free day so we all went to explore by ourselves. Shirley, Mike and I went to see the Wat Sisaket temple. It was stunning. There was a young couple dressed up and having professional photos, it may have been their wedding day. Next, we went to Patuxai, a local rendition of the Arc de Triomphe. It was huge! The views from the top were beautiful and we enjoyed the climb up.
For the rest of the day, we enjoyed walking around the city and taking in the sights.
