Jump to the full entry & travel map Luang Prabang, Lao Peoples Dem Rep So to catch y'all up...the slow boat eventually arrived in Luang Prabang, which is about the cutest town in Laos, and neighboring countries to boot!

The alarm was set for 6 this morning. Rach was shattered though and didnrsquot hear it and slept for a further 30 mins. Dom was up and nearly ready by this point.

TravelPod.com Recent Updates (Free subscription) | 08/28/2008
Jump to the full entry & travel map Luang Prabang, Lao Peoples Dem Rep Hiyo. There are so few certainties in life that it's nice when you find some things that can still be counted on. For instance, karaoke. If there's one thing you can be sure of, it's that the singing will always get steadily worse as the night progresses. It's not just the alcohol, although that does play a large part. The...

... just sway from side to side as they walk along. This elephant camp has been established outside of Luang Prabang. There are seven female, 2 male elephants and one baby male elephant(he was georgeous). The females were all rescued from their former life of logging and the males was purchased from Siem Reap, Cambodia. Without this place the elephants would continue to work long hours, be mistreated...

... and dirty and still no nearer remedying it. We took a cab back into town and played the "Luang Prabang gambit". I sat in a bar with all the baggage and Jon legged it round town and couldn´t return until he´d found somewhere. By the time I´d finished by second beer and it was getting cold and dark he´d found the Hotel Soberania. To compare it to Fawlty Towers...

... had any disagreements apart from whether to turn left or right! The 26th I flew from Vientiane via Luang Prabang to Chiang Mai in North Thailand. In the evening I meet up with a friend (Ron) of my friend Cinnamon (from London Business School). He has lived in Chiang Mai for a few months, so knows all the good places to go for drinks and dinner. We went to a restaurant where tourists don’t...

Getting to Vientianne
Travelblog (Free subscription) | 08/30/2008
Although not a necessarily noisy night storm wise the rain was still pouring down when we awoke. We were getting the mini van to Vientiane this morning not the VIP coach as before our assumption was that a mini van would have a greater ability in dodging pot holes. The road however was not as bad as from Luang Prabang as it didn't wind so much through the hills still many pot holes luckily

... he'd acquired a bit of a taste for the local poppy products since we'd seen him last. We had fled Luang Prabang to get away from the rain and even though the bus ride down got our hopes up with the sun shining the entire way, Vang Vieng still had shitloads more waiting for us. Apparently, the rain only stops in transit. Very peculiar. The really annoying thing was that it wasn't like sporadic...
