So VV did suck as I said, however despite that there was 1 or 2 fine distractions so I cannot write it off totally.
In Vientiane now, should have more time to get the blog updated and photos of the past week or so in Laos, plus dig out the other recipes Ive snagged along the way, got a good one for laap, which is a lao salad with spicy minced meat etc
Not sure how long im in town for, and not sure if I''ll head to the plain of jars or down south either afterwards, but plenty of time left on my visa here so thats more than enough time to decide really.
