We had a lovely time in Haad Yao on Koh Phangnan where we met the sweetest waiter from Burma who was desperate to learn English and asked us so many questions to help him learn. The most popular one was "where you go?" every time we moved even to go to the toilet! We stayed there for 11 nights in total which is by far the longest I have stayed in one place yet. It was really lovely to relax for that long especially after the full moon events. We boug...

It's a long one, sorry! Unfortunately I was quite ill for the remaining time i spent in Shinoukville but i was lucky to have a nice room at a low cost.Once i was a bit better we made our way to Siem Reap on a short visit to Angkor Wat and the many other Wat's surrounding it.

My second day in Hanoi i spent in the city. In the morning we visited Ho Chi Minh in his glass coffin which was very sureal and over with very quickly; there are rumours that it may be a wax work and the man himself is being preserved somewhere else. We then took a walk back into the centre passing a huge statue of Lenin in a lovely park. We took a walk around the lake in the centre and sat down finding some shade to write some postcards. As we walked back in...

We left the civilized Luang Prabang and headed to Vang Vieng.We arrived into absolute party town, not sure if it was because of the New Year or if it's always like that but there was music blasting, beer and Lao Lao flowing and lots of wet people dancing and spraying water.We did well to get to a guest house dump our stuff and join the party without all our belonging getting soaked. I crossed the street from our guest house to the liveliest bar in town and got...
