Vang Vieng

Hello there!
Yesterday we came to Vientiane but before that we spent a couple of days in VangVieng. I swear the time there runs much slower than anywhere else. Despite some rain we had a really great time enjoying ourselves and just relaxing. Tubing in the river and evenings with Beerlao and 'Friends' (they show episode by episode in almost every bar there) added up to an amazingly spent time.

Tomorrow we're going to Bangkok and hopefully we'll manage to post something more from there. Now some photos! ;)

Luang Prabang

As you all know since a couple of days we're in Laos. Here's the first set of pictures :)
Our first stop here is Luang Prabang. It's really nice to experience some peace and quiet after big Vietnamese cities. Tomorrow we're leaving for Vang Vieng.

Now some pictures :)

Lost Pictures ;)

Laos

We're safe and sound in Laos now.
The internet access is a bit difficult so that's all i can say for now.
i hope that we'll be ale to wrote something more and post some photos soon.
Before comming here, we spent 2 days in Ha Long (Bay of Descending Dragon) and it was absolutely amazing! Swimming in the warm sea between the green islands just before sunset beats everything we've done here so far!
ok. that's all for now.
hopefully i'll write something more soon.

Hanoi

Hello from Hanoi - the heart of Socialist Republic of Vietnam. 

We have been exploring the city for two days now. It's quite nice. Yesterdy we walked around the old city. It is interesting because all traditional crafts are located on particular streets i.e. there is a street of carpenters, street of blacksmiths and so on... Today we went to see Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. That's quite an experience. We had to leave our backpacks and wear long trousers. Then we walked in a strict double line queue together with hundrets of Vietnamese people to the mausoleum. We could see screens showing some patriotic events related to Uncle Ho. A music full of pathos was playing along the way. Inside the mausoleum one cannot smile, talk or even hold one's hands crossed - it is considered disrespectful ;) But I guess one has to actually see all of that to get the right picture... 
And one more thing: Tato! Wszystkiego najlepszego! ;)
