I knew it was going to be a long trip after the bus stopped not a hundered yards from the bus terminal to pick up another passenger. So began our two bus trips back from Southern Laos to Vientianne. Riding the bus was an experience to say the least... The bus was packed full of passengers and stopped repeatedly to either pick up more people or let off people. When all of the seats were full, people sat in the isles on plastic stools. Lao karaoke played on an endless loop. The bus had all manner of luggage from chickens, sacks rice, our bikes and a motorcycle tied down on the roof. We were very happy to arrive back in the capital.
Our bus averaged 25 miles per hour over the course of our trip.
