Laos - Luang Prabang & Vientiane [again] (15-19 June)

Back at the guest house that did free tea and coffee, but it only does free green tea now, talk about disappointment! As you can see, we saw some monks, meddled with a rusting anti-aircraft gun on a hill and Caz did some Beer Lao modelling.

Saw England (eventaully) beat the mighty Trinidad & Tobago in a bar that had a fair few England fans. It was like watching it at home, except that the beer tasted better and the commentary (in Thai) was better than John (Rooney!) Motson.

In Vientiane we went to a tinpot shooting range, located in a small building just behind the national stadium, slap bang in the middle of town. It was a strange place, run by a couple of freindly women, who kept the guns in a drawer below their desk in the reception area. We had a go on a rifle, a small pistol and also a powerful Smith & Wesson 6-shooter pistol, like they have on cowboy films. That there's some fancy shootin'!
