On the Road with Vix
Hello Everybody!
Sorry it has taken me so long to add an entry to this website but I have just been so busy! Already been gone for two weeks, I can hardly believe it!
The first part of my trip involved loads of travelling. Flew into Bangkok, then a 12 hour bus trip north to Chiang Mai and then another 3 to Chiang Rai! Spent a beautiful few days with my friends Lindsey and Grant and then returned to Chiang Mai alone. Felt very lonely and cried a bit! Then went on a 3 day trek into the Thai jungle which was just fantastic! Meeting local village tribes, swimming in waterfalls, riding elephants and bamboo rafting (I got very wet)! Our guides were both obsessed with western music and we had a sing song on the first night. Was obviously in my element but felt a litle strange singing the theme to Titanic while sitting in a bamboo shack half way up a moutain in the middle of the jungle!
I then embarked on a 2 day slow boat journey into Loas which is where I am now. This place is beautiful! No where near as polluted, seedy and touristic as Thailand. Just beautiful tree lined streets with amazing markets selling local handicrarts all right next to the Mekong River. Not at all what I expected. Met some great people who are all heading the same direction as me so am very relieved.
Am off to Vang Vieng in a few days to do some tubing and see what the rest of Laos has to offer!
Will attempt to update a little more often and will add some photos when I have some time to spare!
Missing you all!
Vicki
