It's been about 4 days since our last blog update and in that time we haven't been up to a great deal. This is mainly due to the fact that we've both been ill over the past few days.

On Saturday night, we met up with a Dutch couple, Jeffrey and Illsa, who we met on the boat to Luang Prabang. We grabbed some food from the buffet at the night market before we went to the Aussie Sports bar for a few drinks and to watch some football. I managed a couple of beers and had just started a third when illness struck and we had to make a hasty exit back to the hotel. Anyone who knows me will know that I must be ill to leave a full bottle of beer and miss watching a Newcastle game!! After being up all night, we got up late on Sunday morning when I felt slightly better but Beth now felt really ill. Unfortunately, Beth had the same as I had so Sunday was spent completely in the hotel room with no food but trying to take on plenty of water.

We were both feeling slightly better on Monday but had a distinct lack of energy so we again didnt get up too much although it was the first time since Saturday that we managed some food. On Tuesday, we ventured around the city and had another look around before we again met up with Jeffrey and Illsa for some food and for a few more drinks. Luang Prabang is slightly strange in that there is a curfew at 11.30pm. Literally all the bars shut up at 11.30pm and everyone has to leave. So we finished our drinks and said our goodbyes to Jeffrey and Illsa who we may well meet up again with in Vang Vieng or Vientiane.

Today, Wednesday, we've booked our bus to Vang Vieng for Friday which cost us 130,000 kip each. We then went to the Royal Palace Museum which was okay but I wouldn't particular recommend it as a great museum. Tonight we are planning to go for a pizza before we got to visit Kuang Si Waterfalls tomorrow which are meant to be pretty good.
