hello there! we are now in Vientiane, the capital of Laos. I've not written for a while but to be honest there hasnt been much to say!
After the last update me and darren climbed to the top of a hill and watched the sun set, it was really nice up on the top of the hill. we saw some of the others from our group and they had bought these little birds in baskets that you set free at the top of the hill, how nice! after this we went to the night market and tried loads of different fruits which were amazing, things iv never tasted before and have fallen in love with! if only they had them in england! after this did a lot of shopping buying presents then we had a nice meal.
The next day we set off for Vang Vieng. When we got there we were a bit dissapointed as everyone had raved about it and we just thought it seemed like a street full of bars. we had a mooch and in the evening we went out with the rest of the group to a really cool riverside bar where they had a bonfire going and loads of hammocks and stuff. it was really nice and we had a fun night.
The next day we got up for tubing and we were both really looking forward to it, but after breakfast i got really bad stomach ache and lets call it 'digestive problems'. I'd had it for a good few days but had been ignoring it hoping it wold go away but i guess this wasnt the right thing to do as it hit me really hard and i spent the day in bed while darren went tubing. he didnt seem to enjoy it that much, aparently the scenery was ruined by noisey bars.
Yesterday after we travelled to Vientiane i thought i was feeling better so had lunch but then it struck again. i spent the rest of the day in the hotel room. So this morning i had decided i had had enough and we went to the doctors and he gave me some medicine. so i am on the mend now! just such a shame i had to miss the last few days of laos. anyway have to go now, getting a train to bangkok soon!
