tubing paradise

Yesterday was halloween so we joined the rest of the tourists in Vang Vieng by going tubing. tubing is what this town is known for. it has evolved from taking a blown up tube (like a dougnut) down the river on the current, to end up in town, to a bar crawl. all the hotrockers dressed up in the...

police, leaches and torential rain!

Bush camping 20 minutes to the north of Vang Vieng did not go well! We arrived and set up camp in a sort of forest area by the side of the road and cooked dinner successfully. It wasn’t until most of us had gone to bed after a camp fire that it started to go wrong! The police turned up with...

4000 Islands - Direct from the Source.

Tadlo I was going to leave Tadlo after my first day/night there. Tadlo is a small, sleepy, relaxing spot known for its three waterfalls, two of which can be explored within half an hour. On my first day there that is just what I did. The third waterfall was an hour away by road and I just...

4000 Islands.

Si Phan Don, the 4000 islands. Of course, I cannot locate this on the map above so the closest neighbor is Muang Khong. Nuttter is in a reqion of breath-taking beauty. The mighty Mekong has spread out into hundreds of tributaries that meander through swampy-grassland and rocky forests, at...

Pakxe - Direct from the Source.

Arrived in Pakxe and found myself in a large room with a double bed, AC and tv. The bed looked quite comfy and I was looking forward to getting a good night's sleep after the brothel incident in Savannakhet. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. I was in the shower, in the middle of shaving my legs...

Savannakhet, Laos - Direct from the Source.

So, following a couple of days in Laung Prabang, it was time to hit the road. I had originally intended to fly to Vietianne but the flights were booked so I hopped on the bus. What a bus ride it was! I was told it would take 6 hours to get there...but, of course, we are talking about laos time....
