Hiii!! We made it to Laos and it only took 22hrs on a bus! Laos was very similar to Thailand - same same but different ;) We saw giant waterfalls and stayed in a wonderful place by the river with an amazing view! Vientiane is the capital where there's not much to do but eat and move on to the next place. We stayed at a place called soukxana where the owner lady was wonderful and showed us where to go to eat and see etc. We also met a lovely couple w...

Unfortunately the beach is covered in litter, mostly glass bottles - a lot of which are broken so you can't walk on the beach without flip-flops - from t...

Heyloo! Well we've been here for over three weeks now and are really starting to get into then swing of things. Picking up lots of Thai and trying some incredible food!!!! The Thais really love their food! There's these traditional Thai pancakes that you get from street vendors that are made from little balls of batter like play dough! And they come out all salty and almost like pastry. They're lush! The ones in restaurants/hotels are like massive scotch pa...
