Hello again! On the 25th we flew from Vientiene to Phnom Penh, in Cambodia. The flight was very short, only about 1 hour or so, with loads of space (Vietnam airways is a lot better than we expected!!) we also had some good breakfast on board too! Once there it took us absolutely ages to find somewhere decent to stay. All the budget guesthouses were a bit too rough around the edges for us so we ended up near the river front in quite a nice hotel in a room with A...

Hello again! The evening of the 19th we went to Lao Lao bar where we met pretty much everybody that was on our slowboat and had a few drinks with them. We then went to a Laos club and then bowling! On the 20th Samantha, Claire, Jess and I had a bit of a lazy morning and then got a minibus to Luang Prabang along 'The road of never ending turns'. The journey was long but had some really good views on route as we were going around the mountains. We arrived late t...

Hello again, sorry it has been a while since the last update. The last few days have been a bit busy!

The views from the top over Chaing Ma...

We went out that evening to check out the night scene but couldn't fnid anywhere busy. There are a lot of old european or american men up here because ...

Hello all. On the 7th we did a lot of travelling! Wegot a tuk-tuk from Khao san road to the train station to catch the train to Phitsanlok, our first experiance of Thai trains. It was very nice and organised and there were people everywhere that would help, a much more calm way of travelling than India!! The train itself was also nice enough. The seats were a bit uncomfortable but you got a drink and a snack when you got on as well as lunch all included in the p...
