Hello everyone! So when we last spoke we were in Vang Vieng in Laos and we were heading to Vientiane, which is the capital of Laos. Vientiane really wasn't anything special to be honest. I don't think this will offend anyone given that I'm fairly confident no Laotians are reading this. It was a bit like Bangcrap in terms of pollution and delightful fishy smells but with nothing really to do - no kidding! Given that we're both kinda templed out that veteos that ...

Howdy! So we left Luang Prabang on Monday evening for Vang Vieng....which meant we had to embrace another journey on the joyous Laos buses! The journey was meant to take 6hrs, so obviously it took 10hrs instead, but the best thing about the whole journey was the bus itself - it was like a luxury limosine compared to the last one! It was something straight out of 1998 with curtains and material on the seats (as opposed to the lovely faux leather stuff) but the be...

It was fine though (well except the toilet, but given the last few days, a toilet like that would have been a luxury!) Chiang Mai is really cool and we have found that it actually has a normal road structure, therefore we're able to navigate ourselves around it - bonus all round! They also say it has a ...

Welllllllllll..... After what can only be described as the journey from HELL, we finally made it to Bangkok. Danielle, and I quote; "I blame the Arabs entirely" pretty much sums up the reason for our delayed flight from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok. These STUPID passengers wouldn't sit down because they all wanted to be together, and instead of the cabin crew kicking them off the plane they argued for TWO HOURS in which time all the Arab officials came on bo...
