Hey Everyone! We woke up today with the intention of heading to Ban Lung, but having realised we may have another Savannakhet crisis on our hands we decided to change our tickets to Kratie. We boarded the boat back to the mainland of Ban Nakasang where we got our bus. We soon arrived at the Cambodian border and had to fill in all our visa bumpf before chilling for some food and waiting for the others to clear border control; it was during this time we got chat...

Hey Everyone! Wow, where do we start?

Hey Everyone! First of all, we'd like to apologise in advance as we have a feeling this could be a very long one!!! We spent our last few days in Luang Prabang looking at the temples we'd missed including one which was on top of a hill from which you could see for miles. The temple itself wasn't overly spectacular but the setting and the views more than made up for its lack of wow factor. We also treated ourselves to some relaxation time where Sophie had a pedi...
