Laos

We arrived in Laos via Chang Kong in Thailand on Tuesday. We then took a slow boat for two days down the Mekong river which was really cool. Both days the slow boat took about 7 hrs!! Our first stop was Pak Beng which was a small town that was powered by genenerator so we had to make sure we were in bed by 10pm before the lights went out! We are now in Vang Vieng travelling south. We will stop here for a few days and tomorrow (saturday) we are doing some kayaking, some tubing and some caving - should be interesting.... both of us are looking forward to getting to the beaches in Southern Thailand.....we should be there in time for Valentines day! how sweet!
