Nov 11, 2009 - Laos - Luang Prabang

Hi All, Well this morning I woke up at the crack of dawn as I wanted to see the giving of the alms to the Monks. Apparently it is a 4 hour trek up to the villages and then afterwards to a waterfall for some relaxation to end the day and also to end my time here in Laos, Luang Prabang. ... I then fly off to Bangkok on Saturday to meet up with the guide and also meet up with Tracey the other girl doing the Elephant adventure with me.Hi All, Well this morning I woke up at the crack of dawn as I wanted to see the giving of the alms to the Monks.

Oct 26, 2009 - Getting the Tube

I finally managed to haul my sorry-ass, beachbum behind off Ko Phan-Ngan. I made a sharp exit the next day (after a night drinking with 2 Dutch guys) on the 4 hour bus to Vang Vieng. ... Tubing! Vang Vieng seems now only to exist for one reason. ... Tubing (google it).I finally managed to haul my sorry-ass, beachbum behind off Ko Phan-Ngan.

Sep 27, 2009 - Laos

Well I have been so very slack with keeping up with the trip journal this time and now I have to try to think back to what we have done and I know I will miss out on so many important things and it wont be my usual passionate style of writing, but I know most of you just like looking at the pictures anyway! So we had been to Laos on our last trip and enjoyed it so much we decided to go back to our favourite spots, Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng. ... Vang Vieng was everything we remembered it to be and thanks to its repretation for drunken tubing down the river it will always be busy with the ‘banana pancake trail’ backpackers. ... Once again though there was so much construction of guesthouses going on.Well I have been so very slack with keeping up with the trip journal this time and now I have to try to think back to what we have done and I know I will miss out on so many important things and it wont be my usual passionate style of writing, but I know most of you just like looking at the pictures anyway!

Sep 22, 2009 - Slow, slow, slow your boat, gently down the Mekong

Taking the Slow Boat down the Mekong from Huay Xai in Northern Laos to Luang Prabang is pretty much a Must Do for travellers along this route. We overnighted in a little town called Pak Beng where the locals pretty much attack you as you come to shore to get you to stay in their guesthouse. ... The electricity generator shuts down there at 10pm so you are pretty much guaranteed an early night.Taking the Slow Boat down the Mekong from Huay Xai in Northern Laos to Luang Prabang is pretty much a Must Do for travellers along this route.

Sep 21, 2009 - Crossing over to Lovely Laos

I had read about The White Temple a few days before reaching Chiang Rai and hired a red taxi to bring me to it. You will notice the only gold building are the loos which were definitely the fanciest I had seen since arriving in Asia :-) From there on it was a local bus to Chiang Khong to cross from there into Laos, into the border town of Huay Xai. ... I spent a beautiful evening drinking LAO BEER and watching boat races on the Mekong.I had read about The White Temple a few days before reaching Chiang Rai and hired a red taxi to bring me to it.

Sep 17, 2009 - Kayaking the Nam Song

We're in Vang Vieng now, which is about a 6 hour bus ride south of Luang Prabang. ... And what a bus ride it is! The scenery alone was worth the money for the bus.We're in Vang Vieng now, which is about a 6 hour bus ride south of Luang Prabang. ... And what a bus ride it is!
