Day 13: Adieu, Laos

Posted by nina under Laos

Though I walked a lot yesterday, I still had a hard time sleeping last night. I suppose I’m too aware of my surroundings (and freaked out by it), or I’m just too excited about going back to Thailand. I was still up by 1am, re-watching Voice episodes for the nth time. When I got tired of watching them, I switched over to the video shorts that has been sent via e-mail or leeched from YouTube. By 3am, I forced myself to turn off the computer and the lights to get some sleep.

Day 12: Vientiane by foot

Posted by nina under Laos

Today was actually quite good. Due to yesterday’s terrible experience with that tuk-tuk driver and my miserable room (which I totally brought upon myself, I admit), I was ready to hate Vientiane.

It’s 5:45pm, I just got into Vientiane and I’m already thinking of how I’m going to get out. Not that there’s anything wrong with the city, it’s just that I need to be back in Bangkok before the 18th, and it’s already Friday tomorrow, so I need to book myself train tickets back to Thailand.

I wanted to wake up early, to walk around the town before it gets too hot. But I had such great sleep last night that I put off waking up until past 8am. It wasn’t until 9:30 that I was able to leave Vilay Guesthouse. I walk down the road towards the Mekong, and walked parallel the main road, heading towards the town center.

Day 8: Flying into Luang Prabang, Laos

Posted by nina under Laos

It was another early morning, since I have to ride the airport bus going to Suvarnabhumi at 7am. Instead of having to go to the travel agency’s office, the agent told me that the bus will pick me up from my hostel. At that note, I knew it was a mini-bus, rather than the actual airport bus. I was right, and I ended up squished between two other travelers, one still with the lingering smell of booze from the night before.

Nina Fuentes | Lovin' ManilaNina, going through quarterlife crisis, decided to stop talking about traveling and actually start traveling. Starting with a solo weekend trip to Cebu to a backpacking trip in Thailand and Singapore, she finally made it out of Asia and into Australia. After spending close to six months down under, she's happily settled in Manila (for now), intent to explore the best things the Philippines has to offer.
