Another early morning. The hotel tried to charge us for food we didn’t eat (it was eaten on a day when we were still in Vietnam) which wasn’t what we wanted to deal with in the morning while we were rushing to a bus.

Again we did some take away food deal so we could eat on the bus. This bus cost 7 dollars and it showed. People and luggage piled everywhere. I ended up in the back with a bunch of Japanese people who were really friendly, and Jen and Amy were up front. The food stops were horrible, and the eventual border crossing took forever. We stood in lines for at least 2 hours.

The bus in Thailand was better. The 7 hour trip ended up taking about 13 hours. When we got back to the hood, we found a really nice new guest house. We had some food and slept.
