Hi All ive finally got some internet that works and its free yepeeee..

Well since my last blog ive been on my tour for 12days and we have not stoped we have done so much.

Day 1 we all met in Bangkok at our hotel we had a welcome meeting and then headed out for dinner. Everyone is really nice and a good mix of people. Edele is from Ireland,Sally from London, Liela from Melbourne, Dan from sydney and Charles from USA. Then the couples are Emma and Anthony from london, Heather and chris from canada and Alex and andrea also from canada. Alex is a film star well a small one anyway he has been in some well known movies.
The next day we all head out for a river cruise and visit the reclining buddah at wat po temple. In the afternoon Edele and i head to the Grand palace before hitting one on the main shopping streets.
On the evening we catch the night train up to Chaing Mai. Wen we arrive we head in to the moutains for some elephant treking and bamboo rafting. The elephant ride was not fun, as there was an odd number of us taking part i joined alex and andrea. Alex had to sit on the head of the elephant meaning we didnt have a driving so our elephant just did what it liked including trying to climb a tree so we nearly all feel off and then walking down a huge drop. At this point we just wanted to get off.
The bamboo rafting after we much better and relaxed.

The next day we leave Chaing Mai for the Loas border.After a long drive we exit Thailand and cross the Mekong river by long tail boat and arrive in Loas. We spent one night at the boarder then the following day we have a 5hr drive to Pak Bang. We were meant to be getting a boat down the Mekong but the river has dried up in some parts so we couldnt.
So instead we drive along a dirt track up and down the moutains. We pass through some local villages were some of the children have never seen westerners.
We spend 1 night in Pak bang we have a look round the village market and a temple.

Next day up early and head to the river for our boat cruise along the Mekong to Luang Prabang. The boat trip takes all day but the scenery is beautiful and its good to not be stuck on the bus for a change. We just chill and lie in the sun. We stop off at Pak au caves for a look round. There are 2 caves full with 1000's of buddah's, the first is just up a few steps but the second is up over 300 and in the heat is not good.
We arrive in to Luang Prabang late afternoon and head out for diiner as a group not long after. A few of us decide that we should hit some bars afer dinner but as they all close at 11pm we end up in the bowling alley as this is open till 3am. Dont know why.
The next morning up early with a slight hang over and head to the Kuang si waterfall. We spend a few hours here and have a swim although the water may look beautiful its bloody freezing. In the afternoon a few of us have some luch and head to the market. I got a few bargains.
The next day is our free day to explore however as ive been up since 4am with a bad stomach i spend most of the day in bed and as close as poss to the toilet. What a waste of a day. A few tablets later and i start to feel abit better. As its out last night we try out the night food market. The chicken looks really good but i give it a miss as im really not in the mood for food.

The following morning we head to Luang Prabang airport for our flight to Vientiane. where we are saying for 2nights. We arrive in, in the afternoon and get some luch and have a look around town.We have a free evening but some of us head out for dinner together.
The next day we were hoping for some sun so we could top up our tans but no such look it rained instead.
It was a free day so me sally and edele walked to the gold stupa and some temples for a look around.In the afternoon we head for a massage. I got a 2 and a half hour package which was 1hr body scrub 1 hr oil massage and 30min sholder neck and head massage. It was amazing and all for only 20 quids.

Next stop is out last stop in Loas our Homestay before heading over the boarder to Vietnam.

Hope everyone is well will update you on the next part of the trip in a few weeks
