Day 29: Tuesday 15th March. Slow Boat from Luang Prabang along the Mekong Delta river. By Chris. We woke up early this morning to the rain pouring outside, which we found contiuned right throughout the day! This didn't matter too much as we were on the slow boat for around 9 hours heading up the Mekong Delta river towards the Laos/Thailand border. The scenery was gorgeous, although slightly ruined by the wet weather, however drifting in between the mountains ma...

Day 27: Sunday 13th March (By AJ). Luang Prabang - 1km night market and Kuang Si Waterfall.

(We were a bit templed out by this point so didn't pay to look in...

Day 23: Wednesday 9th March. Vietnam/Laos Border (Lac Sao). By ChrisWe had to be down at breakfast today at 6am as we had a long journey ahead of us. But it was made so much better as the rest of the group who were finishing the tour in Hanoi all came down to say goodbye. We were pretty gutted saying bye to Alan and Lorna to be honest as we had got on with them so well and formed a really good friendship over the last few weeks.We drove through some amazing scene...
