Chilling in Laos. There aint a lot else to do most of the time and 'time' runs pretty slow in most of the places here although you can see the tourism influence starting to take hold in certain places. So, of course, it wont be slow paced for long if the rest of Asia has anything to do with it!! But for now we are enjoying the laid back South of the country and the curious ways that life happens here.

Into the warmth once more dear friends.... We are out of the cold of Japan and China and once more into the Land of Smiles. Ko Chang is a lovely little island and surrounded by all other little islands, some inhabitable. Soon on to Cambodia. Enjoy the rest of winter!! Nick

Hello all, Still on the road and braving the cold in China. Sights are magnificient. There is so much to see. Hope everyone is well Nick x

After swapping the disorganised chaos of India for the very well organised chaos of Tokyo, we are now here in Hong Kong for a wee Xmas break. So many skyscrapers, even our hostel is on the 9th floor. So, we wander through the bright lights of the big city and enjoy a little warmth before heading up to Beijing for minus temperatures. Hope everyone is well. Nick

India.........the beginning of 3 months in this huge and fascinating land. A tour of Rajasthan to kick off proceedings and there's so much to see. No letting the rain spoil the fun. Onwards we go.
