Saturday, 28th November Best night sleep in ages and on a bus! Went to the nicest Scandinavian Bakery for berkkie then got the 'VIP' bus from Vientiane to Vang Vieng.

Sunday, 29th November Caught a Tuk Tuk up river, g...

Tuesday, 10th November Oh what a day, we were up early and breakfasted by the time the guys came to get us to take us out to the island. A couple of Ozzie's came too but were just doing the trip, we had half an hour of snorkelling which was pretty good.
