hello from Laos...
well we arrived here a couple of days ago, when we left chaing mai and mother dear :( chaing mai was really good lots of mosquitos though got bitten quite a bit. We went on another elephant ride which was really good different to the time in india and they did a show which we both were quite impressed with especially the tiny baby ones doing their own things. After that we went bamboo rafting and met some people from england. so afterwards we went for a meal and then to this orchid garden with the biggest fish we have ever seen. And believe it or not we went to see more tigers haha but this time we got to spend 15 minutes with them...you can never see enough tigers really can you? anyway chaing mai was brilliant and i think mum liked it aswell she did her cooking course and make a friend called toby haha so yeah we said our goodbyes and she headed home while we headed further north to the border of Laos.
right well once we got to the border crossing which was alot easier than we thought we met sams friend...braines. So we stayed in little village called huay xin not much really there but beautiful views. so we moved on the next day from there on a slow boat. Ok so this is a two day trip and is the most UNCOMFORTABLE boat ever but to be fair its not everyday can you sail down the Mekong river and Laos definatley is one of the most beautiful countries we've seen so far. And we made alot of friends on it some we are actually staying in a hotel with. And the destination we are at now is like a litle french town as you may not know Laos used to french colonised. Its gorgeous and we went to the night market last night and had our dinner which was lovely and a laugh. There are 6 of us me ,sam ,suzie, josie, braines and a canadian called vicky. So while we are here were going to see a waterfall and mabye trekking and kayaking we'll see. Anyway we'll let you know hope everyones ok not missing us too much haha we miss you loads and we'll upload pictures from chaing mai soon
love and hugs alice and samba xxxxxxxx
ps. HAPPY 21ST TO MAX hope you have a brilliant birthday xxx
