The Monkey Goes Travelling
Well once again I am going to have to play major catch up! It seems like ages since I last updated you all on what I have been doing.
Well left Chiang Mai and all the sore muscles behind and flew to Laos. Arrived in Luang Prabang. This is a very very quiet town (well until I arrived!!!).
Still not feeling 100%, still been eating too much dog! Spent 2 hours in a small long boat on a trip to see the Buddha caves! Went to a little village that makes whiskey and puts snakes and lizards in them! Meant to help with joints or something - I just think it's strange! The Buddha caves were not that great! It was a cave at the top of loads and loads of steps that people have over the years placed Buddha images into it! There were loads in there! See pictures.
The 2 hours back again to go to the cinema! This was a small room with pillows on the floor a big telly, surround sound and loads of DVD's. It was great. That place should be added to the lonely planet books! The next day a 7 hour coach journey to Vang Viene. The driver was absolutely mental! It was a bit scary the speed he took the corners! Arrived in one piece and headed for our riverside bungalows! The view from our bamboo hut was so amazing! Laos has a lot of mountains and it is so beautiful. Vang Viene is known for its tubing, basically floating down a big river in a big rubber tube! It is so much fun, stopping off in little bars on the side of the river for a beerlao!!! I have done this twice now and I am now all tubed out. Apart from trekking up the mountains here there is not much else to do so we are going to head to Vientiane. This is the capital so that should be fun!
Going to get some tea now as I am starving! Will email everyone back soon xxxx Love me and monkey!
