  • Laos: Wrap-Up Our time in Laos has ended. Unfortunately, between Kevin coming down sick, then Amy getting sick, and our timidness to leave the main areas due to malaria risk, our time in Laos was probably not as thorough as it Posted by amyandkev in Amy & Kev's Excellent Adventure | Mar 2, 2009
  • Winter vacation (Part 2) After missing my flight to Laos from Hanoi on my first try, I finally made it to Luang Prabang, Laos the following evening. Luang Prabang used to be the capital of Laos, so has many important temples and other Posted by rdut in You're moving where to do what?! | Mar 2, 2009
  • Four Thousand Islands Si Phan Don, or Four Thousand Islands, is an archipelago of about 2 dozen islands and islets in the far South of Laos, at a bulge in the Mekong river. There are three main inhabited islands and we stayed on Posted by AmyLou2009 in Amy & Lou vs. The World | Mar 2, 2009
  • Pakse & the Bolaven Plateau Pakse itself was pretty unremarkable. Most people just use it as a base to arrange further transport, and we were no exception. We hired out a motorbike and went off to explore the surrounding Bolaven Plateau; or more specifically, the Posted by AmyLou2009 in Amy & Lou vs. The World | Mar 2, 2009
  • Vang Vieng Possibly the most fun activity in the world After the constant fear for 5 hours of being in a minibus crash, we were very glad to arrive in Vang Vieng! We went and investigated a few bars built on a Posted by creynolds in RTW 2009 | Mar 1, 2009
  • Laos (continued) Sorry everyone, we have been very slack lately, but a good sign that we are keeping pretty busy these days and finding it difficult to get in front of a computer - so, the next few entries will be a Posted by HT in HT and Tez's Amazing Race | Feb 15, 2009
  • Laos Massage I have now had the pleasure of two massages while is Laos. This has to be my favorite thing about this country! The Laos people are famous for their style of massage – they call it the Laos Posted by amyandkev in Amy & Kev's Excellent Adventure | Feb 28, 2009
  • Laundry in Laos Laos is bloody hot, with temperatures exceeding 90 degrees. And with that heat comes humidity, which makes it even worse. We have never gone through our clothes so fast as we have in Laos – it would be Posted by amyandkev in Amy & Kev's Excellent Adventure | Feb 27, 2009
  • Island Life Written by Robert Travel from 24-25/2 Phnom Penh, Cambodia We stayed on Khong Island just the one night and moved onto Don Det by boat the next day. This is meant to be a backpacker magnet with a bit of a reputation Posted by stephankr in Running Away 2009 | Feb 26, 2009
  • On the road Written by Kylie Travel On a bus somewhere in southern Laos We left Vang Vieng on Sunday evening we had decided to go straight through to Pakse. Pakse is the largest city in southern Laos and we thought we would stop there, just Posted by stephankr in Running Away 2009 | Feb 26, 2009
  • Which Bank?? Written By Robert Travel from 23-24/2 Don Khong, Laos Dong Khong (Khong Island) was our first port of call. There are busier backpacker islands just a bit further south but as these reportedly had not yet been hooked up to power and Posted by stephankr in Running Away 2009 | Feb 26, 2009
  • Vientiane & Vang Vieng, Laos Vientiane is the capital and largest city of Laos (population: 235,000), but life still feels utterly simple and basic here. It’s almost as if we’ve somehow stepped back in time—which I suppose makes sense. Laos was not Posted by amyandkev in Amy & Kev's Excellent Adventure | Feb 22, 2009
  • Vang Vieng Vang Vieng was the next stop in our itinerary. It was what you might call a tourist-town, in that the only reason it exists is to fleece money out of drunk Westerners! Think of an Asian version of Magaluf or Posted by AmyLou2009 in Amy & Lou vs. The World | Feb 22, 2009
  • Luang Prabang Luang Prabang was the most peaceful city either of us have ever been to. Nestled on a peninsular at the junction of the Mekong and the Nam Khan rivers, it is not a particularly large city but it certainly is Posted by AmyLou2009 in Amy & Lou vs. The World | Feb 22, 2009
  • Monks and Tubes By the time you get this update, hopefully (edit -- yay! done!), our “Flight of the Gibbon” video will be below. The Internet is still far too slow, and power cuts too common to attempt the upload at the moment Posted by Dodgey in Farewell Peckham | Feb 22, 2009
  • Two Marathon Treks... Trek 1 - 3 days 2 nights somewhere in the very north of Thailand! So the first day of walking was possibly physically the hardest thing I have ever done. We had a short elephant trek and then we walked literally Posted by creynolds in RTW 2009 | Feb 22, 2009
  • In The Tubing: Vang Vieng Written by Robert Yesterday was excellent. We finally got to go tubing, which is an experience a whole lot bigger than it sounds. We had to line up in the heat for over half an hour to get a Posted by stephankr in Running Away 2009 | Feb 21, 2009
  • Laos seen from the sick bed I've been lazy with my blog lately, but it's finally time for some updates... I'll have to go back all the way to New Year! The bus journey from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng was one bumpy ride! I quite enjoy Posted by Maria8 in Maria And The World | Feb 20, 2009
  • Vang Vieng Vang Vieng, Laos Written by Rob We arrived in Vang Vieng yesterday afternoon. We caught the VIP bus from LP – which was a good choice – as the ride was long and very twisty up and down mountains – it took Posted by stephankr in Running Away 2009 | Feb 19, 2009
  • How to mount an elephant Luang Prabang, Laos Written by Kylie on 18th Feb ‘Just step up on the leg with your right foot and swing you left foot over’ – sounds easy right? I assure you when this involves getting yourself 8 foot up in the Posted by stephankr in Running Away 2009 | Feb 19, 2009
  • Slow Boat We took a speed-boat accross the border into Laos - the border being the Mekong river - and stayed in a town called Huay Xai, in a guest house run by a ratchedy old woman who looked like she may Posted by AmyLou2009 in Amy & Lou vs. The World | Feb 17, 2009
  • STUCK IN LAOS A couple of friends have commented that we have been quite quiet for a while but we have just been busy getting into Laos life! We wrote about Champasak (a long time ago) Well next came... Pakse Unfortunately Pakse wasn't the smooth ride Posted by GavandJen in South East Asia Gav and Jen stylie | Feb 16, 2009
  • Cruising the Mekong Luang Prabang, Laos Written by Rob and Kylie Photos for this post will follow once we have a decent connection. Stay tuned for the next few days if you're interested.

  • Nong Khiew and boat trip to Luang Prabang Our next destination was Nong Khiaw. We travelled there with the two French guys we met whist trekking.
