To top our trip off in Laos, we took a bus and a boat to the island of Don Khone, part of the 4 000 islands. We found a nice bungalow on the riverbank of the Mekong. It's the perfect place to relax in your hammock and chill out. We also cycled around to waterfalls, sand beaches and took a boat just before sunset to spot the rare Irrawaddy fresh wat

Kong Lor Cave is a 7.5 k's tunnel running beneath an immense limestone mountain. And apparently, one of the biggest spiders in the world lives there. We didn't want to miss that! So we took a local bus blearing Laos tunes for most of the trip and met some other travellers heading to the cave. Spend the evening in the only restaurant of the village,

Local bus again. Same, same but different ! Took us two hours to get to the Bolaven Plateau, situated 90 k's from Pakse. Got dropped off on the side of the road and had to walk 2 k's with our big bags before finding accomodation. We got a cabana room for cheap and found out we were staying just next to Tat Hang waterfall. Once again a really good s

We eventually made our way to our next stop Tha Khaek, struggling through local transport. After a good night sleep in a cool guesthouse, we took the 10:30 am local bus to Pakse. The back of the bus was crammed full of shit. We started this 9 hour journey and experienced real laos transport for the first time. And to be honnest it was pretty funny

After another day in Chiang Mai doing a Thai cooking course, we took the bus to the Lao border. On the way there, we stopped at a White Temple which was a fascinating site.

Luang Prabang is a very nice and chilled out little city. We stayed there for a few days, time for Camille to recover. However we enjoyed walks along the Mekong, the nightmarket and the relaxed atmospere of the city. We were slightly disappointed by the Laos cuisine, which is not as exciting as Thai food. But Laos people seemed to be really friendl

We took a minibus to Vang Vieng, wich is situated 170 k's south of Luang Prabang. Yet still takes 6 hours to get there. The roads condition was poor and windy as shit. After this nightmare of a journey, we walked around the town in the hard sun to find cheap accomodation. Came across Pan's Place, just outside the town center and stayed there. Vang
