We arrived in Laos having made our way across the Mekong River. After an hour or so to get through customs we had our first experience of Laos. During our first day in Laos we visited a local village which reminded me of a shanty town. All the houses we build out of wood and were all on stilts. All of the families that live here are completely self sufficient; they grow their own rice, have chickens, pigs etc in their garden and have a local river to wash thems...

Hi everybody! I appreciate it has been a while since our last blog update and I can probably guess what you're thinking; they don't care about the blog anymore, they've forgotten all about us. Well my friends, fear not. You see, internet cafes in certain parts of SE Asia are about as common as flushing toilets.

The beginning of our Road Trip in the 5 berth, hi top, Toyota beast we like to call 'Marchel Dantelle'. We (Martyn and I and a couple called Dan and Chantelle who we met in Bondi) leave the collection point at midday to start our trip.After deciding that who needs a map when you have a sat nav we hit the road with a vague notion of going North and seeing where we end up. Following the Coastal Highway we stop at Palm Beach where Home and Away is filmed before he...
