We took a flight from Bangkok to Chang Mai (?), where we stopped at a hotel on the Thai/Laos border. Then in the morning we took a river crossing to get to the Laos border contol. We got our visa sorted and picked up some Kip (local currency), then we got on a boat for a six hour trip down the Mekong River. All very relaxing and I took some good pictures (which you’ll have to wait for). Next day was another six hour boat trip with a couple of stops to see a local village; another village that makes whisky; and some caves. We ended up in Luag Prabang, the old capital of Laos. Couple of days there seeing loads of temples and doing lots of walking. Today finds me in Ving Viang (?). It’s a hole.
I’m getting a really good sun tan, it’s hot here!
