Hello all, It has been a long time since my last blog post but that is because I have been extremely busy. I last left you in Vang Vieng with the intention of leaving Vang Vieng for Vientiane and then heading to Bangkok. Well that plan actually changed at the last minute. We were only supposed to spend 4 or 5 days in Vang Vieng but it ended up being 12 days. We had a sudden feeling of guilt wash over us. We had spent all this time in Laos in one place, in Vang V...

Today is my last day in Vang Vieng and I am very excited to be going somewhere else now. The last few days have been crazy but now I want to sit on a beach and relax.

I didn't know this till a few days ago but apprently it is rainy season here now which means it is hot for the majority of the day and then it will rain for a few hours in the evening.

I arrived at Bangkok airport at 7.15 am local time and asked at the desk when the next flight I could catch to Vientiane would be. Her answer: "It leaves in an hour and a half. Run! Run!" So I ran to The Laos Airways desk,...

Right folks, tonight is my last night in the UK for up to a year. I am very excited to get out there but also a little nervous. I hope to get to Vientiane, Laos by 2pm on the 4th June. From there I will be meeting Morgan and Monkey. As most of you know they have been TOTALLY useless in keeping in touch, uploading photos and generally remembering their friends back home.
