From our last stop in Luang Prabang we drove nearly 400 miles over rough mountain roads to get to the Vietnamese border and finally our destination for the day, Dien Bien Phu. We arrived at a hotel without running warm water and a building full of ugly hookers next to it who showed us their "goods" right upon arrival. Spent a night in beds with plastic covers on the mattresses and no pillow cases.
Go Toyota! I wasn't sure if our truck is going to fully disappear in this ford, but it did just fine. 
Our first ferry crossing. A very old boat pushed the barge from shore to shore. Lots of kids swimming and playing in the wake of the boat's propeller. 
This is how they build bridges here, and most other structures: bamboo rods tied together. This is a pretty long bridge over the fast flowing river Pak in Laos.
