Day 35: Luang Prabang, Laos & Hanoi, Vietnam

17/12/2006
We got up pretty late this morning from a massive farewell night in Luang Prabang, which was an AWESOME night. We nursed our hangovers with some great breaky across the road from our guesthouse (I had the BEST noodle soup, I guess Laos saved the best for last). So we sat there for an hour [...]

Day 34: Luang Prabang, Laos

16/12/2006
Went walkabouts again today and had a look at the stupa that overlooks the city. After a long and arduous climb to the top, the view was breathtaking! We saw an imprint of “buddha’s” foot at the top and chilled out for a while just absorbing the atmosphere.

Mathias and I decided to get a [...]

Day 33: Luang Prabang, Laos

15/12/2006
A day of complete NOTHINGNESS, where we sat around the guest house watching UFC, Movies and everything that can be watched on cable.

Day 31: Vang Vien to Luang Prabang, Laos

13/12/2006
We got up pretty early considering we had a pretty big night, since we had to get a mini bus from Vang Vien to Luang Prabang. We caught a bus from the restaurant which we had eaten at and they seemed to be good people. It was a 7 hour ride from Vang Vien to [...]

Day 30: Laos – Vang Vien, Laos

Had another day to check out some of the more touristy sites here in Vang Vien. Jeremy, Manny and I hired mountain bikes and we around to a village and to see some caves. The bike ride was friggen tiring because I didn’t lower the gear/s when going cross country! I ended up with legs [...]

Day 23 – 29: Thailand and Laos

Okay, so I’ve been a bit lazy and haven’t been posting lately, but seriously, it’s because I’ve been travelling so far! Sorry for the belated post, but I’m going to sit here for a while and pound out everything I’ve done!
Day 23:
So I left by saying that we didn’t end up going to the full [...]
