arrived a couple of days ago into laos. I'm so glad we decided to fly (i say we what i really mean is Devlin). We went on a day trip to some caves (not too bad, managed to read my book for a few hours which is always nice) and we saw the fast boat on the river, it looked horrid. The boat is dead little and it is very fast, everyone is sitting there looking petrified (with good reason). we then spend the rest of the day at some watarfalls, these were so nice (hopefully george will pass on some photos to me as i forgot my camera), even got to stroke a tiger again (i must be addicted). other than that not done much yet, off to vang vienne tomorrow (as long as my stomach gets better, been a bit runny today, just in case you were interested). have a gooden matt (and nic)
