Week 10- Laos (Luang Probang) Day 2 We got to sleep in today to recover from our night bus journey. We woke up in time for breakfast at the guesthouse. The breakfast was really good and it only cost $2! After breakfast we got picked up and take to the Kuang Si waterfalls, the journey in the mini van was a bit windy and bumpy, Katy and Charlotte didn't enjoy the ride there, and was nearly sick. I think the ride there was worth it once we actually reached the wat...

Week 10- Laos (Luang Probang) Day 1 After a long and bumpy journey we finally arrived in Laung Probang at around 5am. None of us had got much sleep so we were all exhausted. We had pretty much been off roading on a double decker bus for the past 6 hours. Once we arrived into the bus station we got a tuk tuk straight to our hostel.

Week 9- Thailand (Chiang Mai) Day 4 Today we started our 3 day trek into the jungle, we were all really excited for this. We got up at 8am when our alarms went off and packed our small rucksacks for the next 3 days. We quickly popped over to the bakery for some breakfast as we weren't sure when we would be eating next. We all had a fresh ham sandwich and a pastry (a bit naughty but they tasted incredible). For once the pick up was on time (in fact early) so we r...
