Just one little bit about yesterday ... It might or might not, but there is the possibility that my bank card (opzxettelijk) is gemold. Because the banks were open after our brommertourtje I tried to pin at an ATM. Ales well and good, until after I had entered all said I had no balance. Strange, because we were confident that there was money in the account.
Back at the travel lodge, we checked the balance and found that we had had more than enough. Now I tried with my card (Which I had gepint) to log in to Internet banking. Could not the random reader gave the message: FAILURE
Flink bales, but it's not a disaster because we are smart and there's a backup option in my account to come (which is called Mom!). Anyway, the bank called and asked if they could see if any money was written off and if I just had to block. She could see that no reservation was made by a bank and I adnere vertroouw ok then that all the money is still on. Still a bit stressful and a lot of bales.
So that was yesterday, this morning we had to change some money and then to the bus. We decided that we still would go for the VIP bus (7 euros instead of five) and left at 9:15. Everything went well and woe were on time. The VIP bus was a sort of fair bus. From anywhere in curtains, and sprayed the outside as you see at fairs. So much laughter.
The bus was actually very relaxed. for a bus trip of 6-7 hours would you plenty of legroom (especially Michael) and the air was again going to enjoy. The only downside is that we sat next to one of the speakers and the whole journey karaoke music thundered (luckily they love ballad here!). Furthermore, the bus really comfortable and arrived a little lazy to do something about drieeen roll off the bus.
Tuktuk shared with other Westerners to come to the center. We went looking for an affordable hostel, not so easy because Laos is generally very expensive. The first thing we tried (next LP between $ 10-17 including breakfast) $ 29 was the cheapest option. In addition, a guesthouse for $ 12, with twin beds and do WIFI woe.
Michael wanted to have a look at other options, but your backpack is very tiring so I sacrificed my (right) to e ind shade with an ice cream at the keep while Michael backpacks around. After fifteen minutes he was back, and found nothing cheaper that we already had family room was full. Just check the other way: a number of options without the Internet.
Backpacks and only then start looking. His preferred option was already fully booked (it was 10 minutes later, a lot bales). After 3 full time, we found a room for 10 euros (without air) but with double bed.
After we had thrown our bags, we saw that there was an air-conditioning was in the room, only you could tell because he is not an operation in a box with a padlock on Sat Sat I've got thoughts and Mac Gyver (as it should in a movie) with hairpins for the first time in my life trying to get a lock.
After 5 minutes it was just tinkering worked. Incredible 
. We now enjoy the air conditioning turned on.
When I took a shower just as Michael has investigated whether there was anywhere the Internet. I am now outside on the balcony with a WiFi connection. It does not belong to the hotel but not protected. It is not good enough for skype, but a place to post work. Ultimately, we are so in luck with our cases and we have a view of the temples as the tourist attraction of Vientiane are labeled. Lucky us!
