Waterfalls

Feeling bad about doing nothing for a few days the 4 of us planned to go on a 4km walk to a big Waterfall, the weather was hot so we took it slow. We walked 3km to the village nearby and stopped for refreshments. After this some local kids decided to guide us to the base of the falls. ...

Chris going bald...

We did nothing, so nothing to write about. We truly are becoming a true Laos citizen!.. Oh... Apart from Chris finally getting himself a haircut!

A small walk around Tad Lo

We awoke to heavy rain so decided to stay in bed, might have had something to do with the beer the night before too! We got up about lunchtime and headed out for a walk to the other side of the River. We found a nice, if overpriced, restaurant right next to the falls. We then crossed back and...

An amazing find...

After a rough nights sleep in our £2 bungalow, we decided to move to another place we had seen and whilst away from the River was really nice and chilled overlooking rice paddys. Later in the day Henry and Anya decided to move too, and took a really funky bamboo hut were each...

Violent waterfall

After a not-so-early start, as neither our friends nor us could be bothered to get the first bus, we took the second at 11am to Tad Lo. The journey was 90km and should’ve taken a maximum of 2 hours, but due to our driver mistaking himself for a snail, stopping everywhere, and reversing often,...

From one over-priced place to another...

We left our rip-off accommodation in Tha Khek and took a tuk tuk to the bus station preparing to head to Savannakhet. But when we got to the bus station, we changed our mind, as there really wasn’t much point in going there apart from breaking up another long bus journey, so we took the hit and...

Hung-over and travelling...

Today we awoke with hangovers after our unplanned drinkypoo’s the night before. Originally, we had planned to head to Kong Lo caves but when we emailed a guesthouse, they told us that due to flooding The Caves were closed. So instead, we left Vientiane to head to Tha Khek. As usual with...

Walk around Vientiane

After a very tasty lunch of Noodle soup with Crispy Pork, we went out to explore Vientiane and walked to the Laos version of the Arc de Triomphe. It was ok but nothing special, we then headed back to the Mekong to take in sunset in a rooftop bar. We enjoyed a couple of beers and then...

Locals munching on Live Stuff...

We took a very long bus journey to Vientiane, arriving at 10.30pm. Along the way, we broke down with a flat tyre and while they were changing it, Charly wandered off to find a suitable loo spot. A minute later she shouted me to come as she had found them selling weird live larvae, we only...

The Plain of Jars

Early-ish start for us this morning trying to haggle down a tour as much as possible, but as usual, we didn’t have much luck and the cheapest we could find was about £30 including everything. Too much for stingy backpackers on a budget! So we took a motorbike instead although the weather...
