Si Phan Don, las Islas sin Mar

Si Phan Don (en idioma laosiano) literalmente significa “Cuatro mil islas”. Hasta ahora habíamos estado en islas grandes, islas pequeñas, islas minúsculas, islas en lagos que parecen mares, pero no entendíamos como Laos podía tener 4.000 islas… ¿dónde? La respuesta la tiene el río Mekong. ...

No nos bajamos de la moto...

Seguimos el curso del rio Mekong en dirección sur y llegamos a Vientián, la capital de Laos, sin más intención que pasar una noche y marcharnos al día siguiente hacia Pakse en el bus nocturno. Así fue, pero antes comentar que aunque en Vientián no vimos mucho, la sensación que nos dejó es la...

La Capital del Tubing

Hacía tiempo que ya habíamos oído hablar de Vang Vieng, y es que el pueblo se ha hecho famoso entre los viajeros por tener una atracción un tanto especial: el tubing. Y os preguntaréis, ¿qué es el tubing? No sabemos cómo comenzó la idea de bajar río abajo con un flotador del tamaño de una...

Llegamos a Laos...

Nuestro primer encuentro con el río Mekong fue para cruzar la frontera entre Tailandia y Laos. Menos de 100 metros de ancho separan a un país del otro donde el río ejerce de frontera física entre ambos. El río que nace en el Tíbet recorre 6 países del sud este asiático: China, Myanmar...

Laid Back Laos...

With Thailand successfully completed we embarked on an overnight bus journey from Chiang Mai to Luang Prabang in Laos. We were lucky to stop near the border for one last Thai temple exploration. The white temple was the king daddy of all temples and our mission through the rain was indeed worth...

Luang Prabang

In our wisdom we paid additional money for a mini van from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang. The picture in the tour office was of a very new looking people carrier which we were assured had air conditioning. What we actually got was a pink and white van with no air conditioning! The journey wound up...

Vang Vieng

We arrived in Vang Vieng after a 3½hr bus journey from Vientiane. We were met by the usual people trying to get you to stay at their hotel. Then Dad and Em decided we were going to stop somewhere for an iced coffee (that’s all they drink nowadays, I’m surprised they haven’t turned into one...

Vientiane

Awoke at the unearthly hour of 3:45am. We went into the lounge where Polly was sleeping and were astounded to see her up and dressed already – think she was proving a point!? Not good at mornings let alone this early, even breakfast is a struggle at this time! Our pick up was arranged for 5am...

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...
