Laos day 9 – Luang Prabang

Laos day 8 – Luang Prabang
As I’m starting to feel better today, we venture out for a light lunch followed by a gentle walk. The eating turns out to be not such a good idea as my digestive system is protesting. Our walk takes us … Continue reading

Laos day 2 – Luang Prabang
Today is a lazy, chilling day. We don’t wake up until 10am and eventually have breakfast around midday in a small, unpretentious restaurant run by a Laotian family over-looking the Mekong. From this vantage point we can watch life on … Continue reading
Laos day 1 – Luang Prabang
We fly to Luang Prabang in Laos today leaving Siem Reap at the very civilised hour of 1.30pm and arriving around 3pm. Our first impression is not a good one as we try to withdraw some Kip from the … Continue reading
Cambodia day 13 – Siem Reap
Today we are just relaxing. The weather is gloriously sunny and warm and we walk to the bar area to have some lunch. We return to the Temple Club which serves good food and doesn’t require us to reset the … Continue reading
