Lunch at the bus stop along the way from Luang Prabang to Van Vieng, Laos. It was included in the price of the bus.

The road was very slow and very curvy. This truck was blocking the road, and everyone in the bus had to get out while the bus driver drove along the side of the road so it wouldn't get stuck in the dirt.

Views of the hotel at Van Vieng. It was around 25 USD a night, the most expensive in the city.
