14 NovemberVang ViengKIM: OMG! Ouch.... How on earth did that happen... and did I really do the Michael Jackson dance (thanks Mundy for teaching me!) A swim and movie day was in order. And so we did just that... Vang Vieng is the perfect place to be hungover... we found a TV bar who had a large selection of pirated dvd's and we watched four movies in a row. Perfect. MARK: Ok, so tubing as we had planned didn't happen as a result of the previous night out. But 4 D...

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.

Not so much as now everyone knows I was on the loo... but what's a blog that doesn't include ALL details of our trip! I have to be honest - I'm writing this about a week or so later... so from memory, here goes! Toda...

10 NovemberLuang PrabangMARK: Kim has been up all night sitting on the loo. It doesn't look like flu any longer and looks more like food poisoning. I went out this morning to the local pharmacy and spoke to the doctor there who spoke surprisingly good English and after explaining Kim's symptoms she agreed that it's food poisoning.
