FRIDAY 29TH DECEMBER Got another shared taxi to Kratie which I think might be our last. Think the driver had to be somewhere cos he drove like Banksy/Schumacher all the way and took 1 and a half hours off the 5 hour journey.

SUNDAY 16TH DECEMBER 2006 Bussed it down to Vang Vieng which was interesting!A lad sat next to me carrying an AK47! Obv I performed excellently under pressure! Turns out he was a goody tho so weve still got hold of all our cash!
