Hello there! Well the countdown has well and truly begun, with only 7 nights of our adventure left, which is a little gutting to say the least! Our 6 weeks on Koh Samui has been just what the doctor ordered before we venture back into the real grown-up world which is waiting for us at home! It occured to me earlier that the last 6 weeks has probably been the longest amount of time i've stayed in one place since i was about 9 years old... from memory this was th...

Not the sort that involves me falling out with Rachel, you understand, but the sort that comes because we've been doing almost nothing of any interest recently on account of the cushy little number we've got going at Charlie's Hut Homestay!

Hello there!!! Busy few days with little access to the internet, hence no blogs or photos, but we've just said goodbye to Jayne and Christophe as they head home to Paris, so we've dived into a cafe to keep our pages updated! We left Vientiane after a nice couple of days by the (dried-out) river on the 6th and after crossing the border at Nong Khai, we took the night train to Bangkok, which in a first-class sleeper carriage was by far the comfiest overnight trave...
