  • Luang Prabang After much deliberation, we decided to travel 'flashpacker' style to Laos ie fly in and out. We'd heard that overland travel in Laos could be very slow and we were keen to use that time seeing other places in Posted by hardingsOS in Overseas trip 08/09 | Jan 3, 2009
  • Grab the ear, step on the leg and jump. “Grab the ear, step on the leg, and jump” were the instructions our guide gave us before we had to mount the elephant.

  • Blue skies, batik, and barbecue Other than sleeping in, we didn’t have any plans for this morning. But, as a result of circumstances beyond our control, our plans were foiled. To start with, our room was on the second floor of our hotel, Posted by agc_cwm in Tales From The Future | Jan 3, 2009
  • Relaxing in Luang Prabang Today was a relatively laid-back/relaxing day. We woke up earlier than we really wanted to and made our way out to a meant-to-be-hot-but-was-cold buffet breakfast.

  • On The Road With The Air In Our Hair Coming to the end of our overnight journey from Vientiane, we watched the sunrise and the sky awake from our bus window.
