"Route 13"

I was looking forward to travelling on a big straight road again after the two days on the Mekong. According to the map "Route 13" sliced the country in two, and was the main route through the country. How disappointed we were. We spent 5 hours driving the equivilant distance from Limerick to Portlaoise on the narrowest, windiest road ever, though huge mountains. The views were pretty spectacular but we were quite dizzy afterwards - but it was worth the reward of getting to Vang Vieng.
