Vientiane while being the capital of Loas, is far from being a big city, a short 17 hour bus journey got us there on the morning of the 21st, ready to meet Ulrika and her friend Amelie that afternoon.
Probably the only activity of massive note in vientiane was how we avoided a small thai disaster. It turns out contrary to all advice printed in any book anywhere (perhaps a slight exaggeration) it turns out you cannot get a 30 day visa to thailand on arrival anymore, so we spent an extra day bumming around in Vientianne waiting for the Thai embassy to issue us with a visa.
Despite being small and unremarkable Vientiane was pretty, had a bustling market, and we all enjoyed a good long swim in the local pool.
