So we are on our way to Luang Prabang. From what we have heard this should be a very chilled out place it is also a World Heritage City. On the way there I was still feeling a bit rough from the tubing/drinking so I did not see much on the bus ride. Christina said there was some nice valleys, mountains and forests. We did go very far up in the mountains and then on the way back down to Luang Prabang the road never straightened out really. It snaked all the way up...

Vang vingThere isn't a lot to write about this one, we went for two reasons and they where to go tubing and to party!We stayed 2 nights at a nice little hostel nowhere near the clubs and pubs because we do need to sleep too!But I should start by saying the palaver we had to get here.....we took the bus from Vientiane and it broke down half way, after an hour sat in the middle of nowhere waiting for the engine to cool down off we went again, until another hour dow...

Unfortunately for us it started raining really heavy by the time we got half way up the hill and we...

After crossing the border from Kratie and lots of paper work and bribery we arrived at our first destination in Laos, a small island called Don Det part of the 4000 Iislands. We took a tiny boat out with 6 other westerners and shed loads of baggage it was a little frighting I thought we might capsize but we managed to stay afloat despite the rain! We found a really amazing little bungalow with an even better river view. The island is tiny, has no hot water and on...
