We’ve spent the last couple of days in Vientiane, the capital city of Laos. It’s a surprisingly small place and feels more like a town then a capital - we’re really close to the center but lots of the buildings are only a couple of storeys tall. There are lots of French-style colonial buildings and temples, and we’re on the banks of the Mekong River – altogether quite pleasant!
Yesterday we visited Pha That Luang, the most famous symbol of Laos. We arrived in the late afternoon and the sun was shining on the golden stupa – really beautiful, we both thought it was lovely. Lots of monks were visiting and they were having a right giggle as they walked round, which was nice to see!
Today we had planned to visit a couple more temples, but I’ve been feeling a bit ‘windy’, I’ll say no more. We had a nice chilled day and caught up with some reading.
