Sawadee from Pai! Been a wee while since we posted so thought is let you know where we are up to! We spent another 10 Days in Laos then got into Thailand on Wednesday.
Our last post finished up at tubing I think so the day after we chilled out an just ate too much!! We had our room cleaned that day an we left some sweets in a plastic bag on the table. We came back an the cleaner had eaten all our mentos an half of the chewit type!! Couldn't believe it!
We headed off tubing again the next day. Such a funny day!! Too many beers an too much beer pong! We were wasted! Bed early again though after a long day.
The next day we hired bikes to peddle up to the caves and the blue lagoon. 8km later and the cave was on the side of a mountain 200m up and the blue lagoon was not blue or a lagoon! Brilliant! We booked our bus to Luang Prabang to leave early the next day.
The bus came an literally 5 of us on it, it was brill! Really comfy little mini bus. The girl behind kept being sick which was a big off putting but headphones in an we were sweet! Roads were awfully windey which wasn't good. The view was amazing though through up and and around the mountains of Laos. Totally beautiful! We got Luang Prabang by 2:30 so 5 n half hours not bad! Checked in an the hotel was lovely, but expensive to be fair! We met up with Ally, Chris, Angie and Ben for dinner. They were all moving on the next day into Thailand. We went to a place called Laos Laos Garden. It was fab! We got to cook our own dinner on a little BBQ thingy with a bowl in it. We had noodles and vegetables and then chicken pork an buffalo.
We spent the next day wandering round the town with Chris an Ally, getting our bearings finally! We had a home made Ice cream, peanut butter an caramel...ideal! Had a pretty quite night, had dinner an went to the night market.
Next day was fab! We headed up to the waterfall round 9.30am with a group of people from the hostel. It's absolutely beautiful. So perfect an clear! We swam in the little lagoons an walked to the top of it. Can't believe how lovely it was. The water was cold but not too bad. In the afternoon too many people were there so we left round 3ish. That night was whiskey night which I'm sure you seen on Facebook! Free whiskey all night! 6pm we started an by 11 I was crawling up to bed! Good night though got to meet some nice people.
On the Saturday we headed to the swimming pool. Had a swim an chill on the sun loungers. We went to the vegetarian buffet for dinner, 10,000 kip so 75p all you can eat! Safe to say we were stuffed! Some really lovely dishes we wouldn't usually go for we're delicious! We then went shopping....dangerous in LP market!! Ended up buying 2 dresses, a floor legnth one an a short beach one. My favourite buy was our picture. It's a hand drawn picture of a tree but it's beautiful. Can't wait to put it up already!! We then decided to get on the Laos Laos Whiskey with some of the guys from the hostel. It's 70p a bottle which is brill!! The pepsi cost more!! We played some drinking games an ended up pretty drunk again.
Safe to say the Sunday was a bit of a right off! We had a movie an Skype day! Couldn't find a roast dinner anywhere so was a bit gutted, will try in Thailand
