sunsets, soldiers, and a belated bonfire night

we had a beautiful bushcamp in a small village somewhere in Laos, which was very picturesque. we camped on a small part of a locals field that was about 20 mins walk from the climbing area. we were surrounded by fields and a river not too far away with water buffalo bathing in it, mountains...

beetle spirits, and capsizing!

Kayaking was awesome! to start at the beginning of the day- we woke up for a special breakfast at 8, put on by the owners of the hostel. they wanted to thank us for staying with them, and send us off in a traditional Laos style. this meant that they cooked us a rice pudding type dish with pork...

Vientianne - Not for long.

Dispatches from Laos have our hero making a bee-line out of Vientianne to Savannakhet. Vientianne is a little too touristy and - to date - the most expensive place so far. THe bus ride from Vientianne to Savannakhet was billed as 6 hours. reality: 9. OUCH! AT HOME. (snoring sounds) "wha......

Vientiane

(Michael) Vientiane, the sprawling Laotian capital and the largest city, is home to about 160,000 people. Here you will find the only convenient stores and the only supermarket in the entire country. After being in Laos for a couple of weeks, it was a little strange to see so many varieties...

Laos?

Day 37 Got up and headed to the Friendship Bridge. It’s the passageway to get to Laos. Got there and there was a guy who helped us get through faster if we took his taxi on the other side of the border. So we did it. Then we probably did the sketchiest thing we’ve all done so far this...

Great food and freaky Buddhas

We woke approaching Vientiane nicely rested, because the night bus was a huge improvement on the Vietnamese torture machines. At last something that is better than Vietnam! Lao night buses having you lying down properly in two layers, like bunk beds. The only potential draw back is that they...

Luang Prabang to Vientiane

The journey from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng was absolutely awesome if not a little scary. The bus wound is way up and down mountains around hairpin bends with vertical drops either side. By the time we arrived it was pitch black and with the trusty rough guide in hand we headed for a guest...

Una proposición indecente

En este viaje estamos conociendo a muchos occidentales que, ya jubilados y sin apego particular a sus lugares de origen, se trasladan a estos países, donde pueden llevar una vida interesante pero tranquila, aceptablemente cómoda, sin lujos ni estridencias, pero alejados del mundanal ruido y el...
