I had a flight to catch at 5pm so spent the morning catching the sun, and then got myself a final two Oreo shakes and a baguette.

Laos – Huay Bo to Muang Ngoi
14/06/16 Today I headed back to civilisation in Mung Ngoi, if I can call it that.. I was ready to leave the village. In only two days I really missed home and my comforts.

Laos – Huay Bo Village
13/06/16 In the morning I had an omlette, which was most likely fresh egg from one of the hundreds of chickens that so kindly woke me up at 5am.

Laos – Nong Khiaw
08/06/16 I headed off to the northern town Nong Khiaw to get a bit more of a 'real Laos' vibe. The bus journey cost 75,000 through the hostel but it costs 50,000 if you go to the bus stop yourself to book. The journey took 4 hours and was quite pleasant with some nice views, … Continue reading Laos – Nong Khiaw
Laos – Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfall hike
07/06/16 Today was going to be a chilled day but after posting a blanket I'd bought back home for £40(!) we decided to go back to the waterfalls to do another hike to the source.
