Week 11- Laos (Vientiane) Day 2 We had a lazy Sunday today and stayed in our pjs for the majority of the day :) we got up and had some breakfast, brushed our teeth then headed for cinema room to watch a film. Another girl (Lucy) joined us and it turned out she was from chingford! Small world. We watched a film and me and Charlotte were looking things up as well. After the film we had some lunch at the hostel I had spag Bol and char had carbonara, probably the be...

Week 11- Laos (Vientiane) Day 1 Today we had a delightful lay in before heading down to the common area for breakfast.

The centre pro...

It wasn't a bad drive at all and I think we all had a bit of a doze. It was cool to drive through the city and watch out the windows! Once we arrived at the bus stop we hopped strai...

Week 10- Laos (Vang Veing) Day 5 We had a chilled day today. We had a lay in then went to get breakfast in town before getting a tuk tuk to take us to the blue lagoon. The journey there was about 7km and it was a very bumpy ride, over a bridge that crossed the river and down several dirt tracks through a village. But the lagoon was worth it! It was another scorcher today so jumping in to the freezing waters of the lagoon felt good! We watched several people jump...
