My apologies this post comes more than a month late as battling with a stable internet connection in Central Asia is no fun.
My journey into Laos began with a memorable 19 hour "VIP" bus ride from Phonsavanh to Pakse. Starting out at 6am in the morning, I was promptly picked up by my Tuktuk and taken to the bus station for the 6.45am departure.
Eventually arriving at Pakse at 2am, I decided to go straight to the bus terminal to catch my next ride to Si Phon Don (4000 Islands) . Arriving at the 8KM bus station, I and 3 fellow traveller who also came from Pakse were greeted by a friendly ticket seller who told us that the first bus leaves at 8am and kindly invited us in to join him to watch the World Cup.
