Real Laos

So, haven't written on here in a while been a busy old couple of weeks. Took a 2 day boat ride down the Mekong in to Laos, a pretty stunning country. Ended up at Luang Prabang, loads of temples, bit of french colonialism left over. oh and the start of the Party trail.
Which brings me to Vang Vieng an true party town, after a heart seizing bus ride through mountains passes we ended up in dusty Van Vieng. We stayed at the foot of the mountain next to the river. The sunsets were something else.
How about sitting on tube, floating down the river, drinking beerloa and jumping from trees on swings and aerail slide? Water parks have got nothing on this its the real deal. Alot of fun.
I Kayaked to the capital - Vientienne which was good fun, A bit of a dry town not too much to do.
I'm in Hanoi now, northern vietnam - its cold and rainy here. Off to Saigon in the morning.
