13 NovemberVang ViengKIM: Tubing in Vang Vieng... we've seen the t-shirts everywhere, we were about to get our very own! To try and describe Vang Vieng, it's like a mecca for Friends lovers. And by Friends, I mean Ross, Joey, Chandler, Monica, Rachel and Phoebe!

Doc prescribed a 5 day course of antibiotics and electrolyte fluid replacements. Kim has been sleeping all day today, and we'll probab...

9 NovemberLuang PrabangMARK: 10am. Oh what I would give to have another Lao Lao now… NOT!!!!! Woke up with a just a slight hangover. Boon was coming at 11am to pick us up so we dressed quickly and headed out to murder a couple eggs, which turned out to be a 3 egg omelet with bacon, cheese, onion and tomato inside… (It's making me hungry right now just writing about it!)… Feeling half-human again, we headed back to meet Boon who was waiting for us talking to...
