hello hello, currently trying to upload photos but not sure it will work so no promises! In Vientiane, very pretty city but not as Luang Prabang!!! Still for the capitol city its very very chilled out and incredibley clean!!!!!

Arrived here yeastrday evening after spending the morning tubeing ion Vang Vieng, that was great fun but we have a bus full of sunburnt travellers now!!! I'm not to bad, just a but red on my calves but then again 4 hours in the water and your suncream will wear off!!! Great fun though, exactly the same as i did in America but with far more spectacular scenery!!!!!

Tomorrow we had to Lak Sao on the vietnamese border, and then we leave Laos. I'm really guitted to be leaving actually, would love to explore more oif this country, its just so friendly and easy to be in! Still Halong Bay to come and i'm sure that will be just as beautiful!

Havent been up to much ap[art from the tubiong, today was spebnt just miulling around some of the temples and the victory monument (bears a striking resemblance to the one in paris, funny that!!!) Here in Laos you have to havbe a Loas tour guide by law so we have had Mr Tui. He is very very funny and started our 6 hour bus journey yeaterday by telling us that to improve his english he sings western songs, he tyhen serenaded us with renditions of My heart will go on, the beegees I started a joke and a bit of westlife!!! In a mini bus there is no escape but it was comedy!!!!! Dread to think what tomorrows 8 hour bus ride holds!!!

Got to say these have been my favourite journeys with such amazing views the whole way, guess i'm lucky i dont get travel sick like some of the others with all the windy roads, i just love it!!!

Anyhow, off for a pepsi and a baguette before catching the sunset over thailand!

Missing you all
