mikes midlife round the world in 96 days

This place has nice french influenced buildings,along with traditional laos places.Still plenty temples to see,but i only viewed one this time.Lots of good places to eat and a few bakeries for cakes.
Visited the cafes and waterfalls one day,and also the palace museum.The night market is good with plenty to buy.
Apart from the thunderstorm a few nights ago which blacked out the complete town around 10 pm its is very humid here.
The resturaunts shut aaround 10.30 ish,because of licencing laws,and the few bars around 11.30/12pm.However there is an indoor bowling alley where most tourist go to enjoy more beerlao.Unfortunately i went the night before my bus to Vang Vieng,must have got back to guesthouse around 3 am,however its a real good atmosphere and kinda strange to imagine this place in such a remote area.
