One of the legacies of the French colonial era in Lao is the great love of pastries, cakes and the ubiquitous baguette. No self-respecting Lao town is without it's selection of bakeries and patisseries and Savan is no exception. I found a particularly good example in the form of the Phounin Bakerry (sic) on Ratsavongseuk Road. Delicious small pastries can be had for 2,000 kip per piece and, should you want such a thing a wonderful looking fully decorated cake can be had for 30,000 kip. I particularly recommend the coconut tartlet. Although she does not speak English, the lady here is extremely friendly.
What to buy: The cakes and pastries which are excellent.
What to pay: The pastries are 2,000 kip each, cakes vary in price but are not expensive.

A little break on our drive south.
We decided that we should stop overnight in Savannakhet as it is a long drive to Pakse and this is the largest city between them. There are some hotels and restaurants but we didn't get to stay long...
