1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #568 - VIP 'Sleeping' Bus, Luang Prabang, Laos

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #568
 
- VIP 'Sleeping' Bus, Luang Prabang, Laos
 

(This has to be the most original transport experience that we have ever had, on land - a 'sleeping' bus? Yes, indeed - from Luang Prabang to Huoayxai in Laos. You are given a sleeping "tray" of less than 6ft by 4ft, with stiff cushion, 2 pillows and 2 blankets and off you go, on a 12hr journey from 6pm to 6am. By the way, it is meant for 2 persons. But because the bus was half full, we were able to get another tray, giving us the much needed space to stretch our legs. Did I say that there are actually no seats at all - no seating position, with legs down, is possible? Interestingly, we slept pretty well and felt good on arrival. Almost as good as a1st-class, flatbed airline seat)
