I conquered my first big challenge of 2016! I am now, after 4 days of hard work, a certified open water diver!! Not going to lie, I almost quit on day two! Day 1 was theory, all about understanding diving, pressure, equipment etc. After the first lesson I was like :| I didn't realise how dangerous diving actually was! I was still excited but nervous to get in the water. We started early the 2nd day at 8am and went into the pool. We had to learn more about our e...

We stayed in the capital city for just one night which was enough as there wasn't a lot to do there. We ma...

Who would have thought that Laos was so beautiful. The first few days were spent on 4000 islands - an island on the Mekong river. This place was incredible. It had the most beautiful waterfalls and we spent the time cycling, swimming, tubing and dolphin watching at sunset! Tubing was interesting! We tuned for sunset and then got attacked by bugs and flies and freaked out trying to get back! We spent lots of time eating too! Probably tried every restaurant on the ...
