Today was the Second day of the slow boat. We survived in our wooden shack and were looking forward to making it to Luang Prabang. We had breakfast at our dodgey hostel and also took a takeaway noodle lunch with us. Boarded the slow boat for one last journey, the scenery was beautiful but I think we had all had enough by then! We ended up turning the chairs around so we could play card games with each other! Was a very tedious journey. When we did finally arri...

Today was the day we crossed the border into Laos! We woke up and had a good breakfast which was also free at he hostel.

We arrived at the border and did all the paperwor...

We then went to the Caves - there was lots of climbing with dangerous bird pooey handles on stairs. We had a guide which took us around however it...

Well me and Rob woke up Very hungover! Panicked as we realised we had a cooking class in just under hour. Jessie, Jonny and rob and I went to a cooking class at 9am! We all met in the reception and were picked up in a land rover and taken about an hour away to a lovely cookery school near the mountains. It was funny as Jessie, Rob and I got to sit in the car with the A/C whilst Jonny was in the trailer at the back crammed in with everyone else.. he did not look ...
