Heading towards The Plain of Jars...

After finally arriving at the correct bus station, which should’ve taken 5 minutes, but instead took 30 as the driver of our tuk tuk pretended he understood what we were saying, so after another huge tour of Luang Prabang we just managed to jump on the bus to Phonsavan as it was leaving,...

Last day In Luang Prabang

As Luang Prabang is so chilled and simply just a lovely place to be and visit, we just had to spend one more night here! You can so easily get sucked into ‘The Laos way of life’ here and just never leave. For a city it is so tiny, admittedly with a ton of tourists, but in a good...

Charly's Birthday Boxing Day...

We had a lie in and then went across to meet Gill for lunch at a nice Café overlooking the Mekong. Whilst there we also saw Andy who was sitting in the restaurant next to us. After lunch we went for a stroll to the Dara market where we bargained hard for an “original”, hmmm, North...

Eeeeekkkkkkk.... It's my birthday!!!!

Charly’s birthday was finally here and it started off with a bang at 5am as a massive thunderstorm hit our small town and probably half of Laos. After a late night drinking Lao Lao Mojitos, it was not a welcome surprise and so we started off the day feeling pretty tired. We finally got out of...

Charly's Birthday Eve!

We woke up and it was again a scortcher, so we decided to head out for a long walk to the local caves where the locals hid during the bombings. It was sweltering and although not far, felt like a long way. We made it, crossed the River, and went up into The Caves. It was pretty...

And now to somewhere with a little more of a local feel...

Today we headed up to Nong Kiew with Kara and Pierre. The journey was fine and we found a really nice guesthouse with bunglows for 40,000Kip (£3’ish). Due to the heat we sat in the bar consuming lots of cold beer and playing cards. We headed out later and had a lovely meal at a local...

Teaching English to the local children...

Had a great day today and decided to continue hanging out with the people from our guesthouse, Kara and Pierre and walked about Luang Prabang until we got too tired and caught a boat across the River to a bar with amazing views, but more importantly cheap cocktails! But we couldn’t stay...

Hon Lai !!! (Very Hot!!)

As it was another gorgeous sunny day, we decided to hit the swimming pool just outside of town! We did try and find bicycles to ride up there, but as it was already midday, trying to find a cheap one was impossible as all of the early-rise tourists had already grabbed them, so we haggled...

After 28 hours of travelling... we made it!

Well the bus journey continued to get worse during the night as we guessed it inevitably would and we broke down about 2 hours short of Luang Prabang and we had to wait for a sawngthaew to take us the final stretch. Worst of all was our bags got loaded on the first one and there...

TUUUUUBING

WHAOOOOOO. I've been very slack in recent weeks at updating the blog. After Hoi An I traveled further north through Hue, Hanoi and Halong Bay. I'm sure all of these places would have been incredible (especially Halong Bay) but unfortunately it was bloody freezing so I rushed through....
