**WARNING DULL TRAVELLING POST** Wellll unfortunately I was ill when we were supposed to be doing our cooking course (typical!) and Tess still didn't feel great after the previous night so we decided to save the cooking course for when we get to Kanchanaburi. To make up for our consequent lack of meals we made a visit to our favourite store, the good ole 7-11, to stick up for the train journey ahead. Pringles, yoghurts, m&ms, ritz crackers and of course koal...

Well we made it back all in one piece and had a pretty amazing experience to boot..what more could our adoring readers ask for?..yes it makes us feel very loved knowing we have people out there actually interested in our barmy adventures and also we feel like proper bloggers! On valentines day (sob!) we snuck around our 14 bed dorm in the morning and eventually managed to exit without waking too many people up. At 8:30 we set off from Luang Prabang in the back ...
