06/06/16 I was woken so early by the cockerels and the pigs and basically every animal that roamed around the village. I thought I'd woken up in good time but it was actually around 5am... Breakfast was served around 8 and it was eggs with bread. We were given some boiled water for the day … Continue reading Laos, Luang Prabang, 2 day trek day 2

Laos – Luang Prabang, Royal Palace, Phou Si Mountain
04/06/16 I had a relatively easy day today, it was still raining so I didn't want to be walking around too much. Just opposite our hostel was a folk museum which had interesting information about the Khmer and Hmong village people, more so about their traditional clothing but also a little about their handicraft. I … Continue reading Laos – Luang Prabang, Royal Palace, Phou Si Mountain
Laos – Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfall
03/06/16 I had to check out of my guest house and move to Kounsavan hostel. I was happy to move as it meant there would be a better atmosphere and potentially more help when booking things. Turns out the staff at the hostel are just as unfriendly and unhelpful as the guesthouse. We were able … Continue reading Laos – Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Waterfall

29/05/16 This morning it was pouring down with rain, which I was upset about but didn't let it dampen my spirit too much.

I ended up jumping in a mini van with the people I had dinner with … Continue reading Laos – Vientiane, Buddha park, COPE centre
