visiting more temples..
not sure what this is, but it reminded me of an ice cream cone!
i believe this is the presidents house...or some sort of governmental building..
so the only real attraction in Vientiane is Buddha Park. it's about a 45 minutes bumpy tuk tuk ride outside of town, but it was worth it. this park has statues from 3 different religious backgrounds, most of which are massive.
it was incredibly hot this day..my camera was actually hot to hold..
this reclining buddha is what the park is famous for
it was almost eerie being here, there was almost no one around, it was blazing hot, and very quiet.
in the first picture of the park i posted, you'll notice there's a stature with an open mouth at the bottom of a spherical structure...this is the view from on top of that. i had to take it about 7 times because there was one guy wandering around, in a red t-shirt, and i really didn't want him in my photo.
(prior to going up top)
inside were all these statues...felt like we were walking through a tomb
on top..
tuk tuk ride back to town..
dinner on the boardwalk..
and that wraps up Laos...now a 60 minute flight to Hanoi, Vietnam..
