After Luang Prabang we set off on our luxury yacht up the Mekong to Nong Khiaw. Ok, so it was a little less luxury and more like a wooden canoe with 14 baby chairs, however, the journey itself was actually really nice as the scenery the whole way was amazing. Despite the fact that we had to all get out and push the boat for a little while in shallow water, it was very relaxing. We decided to go to a place called Muang Niaw which is further up the river and only...

Again, it has been a while since our last entry, but this time we have done a bit more! We had a lovely last few days in Pai with Sarah and Ally, mainly playing drinking games and searching out the best meat on a stick! After that we went back to Chiang Mai to get visas and set off for Laos, vowing to not drink any alcohol for at least a month!

It was nice to chill out there for a few days and we saw some cool ruins and Buddha's!! After that we set off up North to Chiang Mai with the idea of doing a few days jungle trekking. Unfortunately...

We did have a little drama when we thought we were being arrested but it turned out that the taxi driver we found had entered the airport illegally and was over charging us so he got...

The last leg of our wonderful trip in India began in Kochin, Kerela. Kochin is made up of Islands and we stayed on Fort Kochin, which was really beautiful. It didn't really look like India as it was originally built by the Dutch, so it sort of felt like we were in a different country! After another boring 12 hour bus journey we found ourselves a 'Home Stay' called The Ham Dale Inn. In Kerela, instead of guest houses, owners rent out as many of the roo...
