Is it possible to travel by bus from Hanoi to Laos? How is the border crossing?

I am planning to visit Hanoi again, and I am considering going to Laos. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? If so, is a bus travel possible? How much and how long will the travel take? Thanks.

Yes it is possible as I did it a few years ago. Prices will have changed by then but they run over night and the border crossing is fine but pretty filthy (actually the worst toilet I have ever seen in my ten years of backpacking, it was 10cm deep in excrement =)
