4-6th March

I was a bit disappointed with Louang Phrabang. The guidebooks had built the place up so much that I was expecting this amazing enchanting town. In reality its a pleasant small town, in a pleasant setting but certainly not the jewel of Asia as the guidebooks built it up to be.

Its starting to get a bit chilly as i head further into the hills and my warm clothes are going backwards and forwards on a train to Bangkok. Im cursing myself for leaving them now as i have nothing warm to wear and traditional Lao yak jumpers really arent my thing!

A days sight seeing, and a night on the town with the Kiwi and the Germans and I’m ready to move on, Heading East towards the Vietnam border my next stop will be a place called Phoncervan? (going to have to check these spellings)
