Well, what to say?! Since the last blog Jade and I did three nights worth of overnight travel from Laos on buses, trains and boats to get to Koh Tao island in Thailand where we spent a glorious few days sunning ourselves on the beach, going snorkelling in the gorgeous blue waters, doing yoga, eating great food and watching a drag act among other things!!!After a few days hitting the shops and markets (unfortunately for my credit card, quite hard!) in Bangkok, aro...

Hello again!Another few days have rushed on by and it's time for another spot of writing- hopefully not too much of a long one as it's been a relatively short time since I last blogged!!Anyway, at the moment the four of us are in Luang Prabang, in Northern Laos. We arrived on Tuesday afternoon after a 7 hour bus journey from Vang Vieng during the day on a 'VIP' bus that actually had no a/c and wouldn't have looked out of place on the road about 30 years ago!Luang...

So, another (nearly) two weeks has absolutely flown by, and we just arrived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, about an hour ago!! lots to chat about and also some new photos are up on flickr (my user name is lucylu223) if you'd like to take a look...
