I'M IN LAOS! Here we our after our EPIC journey from Vietnam. My lovely sister has informed me I use brackets too often in my blogs... so I'm going cold turkey and using NONE in this one! quite a challenge for me actually. I'll try to get up-to-date with what we've been up to since last time. Are you sitting comfortably? Then let's begin... HUE - We stopped here for one night on our way northwards in Vietnam. Nothing much to shout about to be honest. We tried a...

I'M IN HOI-AN! (Still Vietnam...) Well we've had a busy week(ish) since leaving Ho Chi Minh.
