April 2010
In April 2010, Hannelore went to Loas, by way of Hanoi, with our daughter and her family from their home in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. The red lines on the map were by air. The black lines were by bus. The following photos show the three major places they visited over a period of about two weeks ... Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and Vientiane ...
