Hey - thought we'd make contact quickly - we've been in Luang Prabang for 2 days now - its a world heritage site and is absolutely beautiful - took a trip to a waterfall today, definately worth it :)

we're getting the slow boat in the morning to the Thai border (northern Thailand) - its a 2 day journey but the scenery should be amazing and its suppose to be worth it - hoping to see some elephants! (think we're going to have very very numb bums by the end tho!!)

From the border we head to Chang Mai and we're hoping to do a trek once we're there - think there are a mixture of things but definately elephant treking / rafting and walking so we'll see what we can find when we get there :) Not sure what internets going to be like there so thought we'd give u an update before we go!

The plan then is to head down to the Islands, we're definately looking forward to a bit of beach i think!! :) ok, well take care everyone, lots of love from Laos xxxxx
