Today marks the third country for me to be traveling in. I arrived in Vientienne Laos yesterday after a two day journey by motorcycle, bus, and finally train to get here from the western part of Thailand. I’m feeling a bit sick, I think I have some sort of cold and I’ve been running myself ragged the past few weeks with travel, sightseeing, and a little partying.

It’s been a few months since I’ve updated my blog, I guess I’ve just been lazy. I’ve been traveling this time around for about 4 1/2 months. I arrived back in Bangkok on July 20 to meet up with Uwe. After that we toured around and hit up the hot spots of the south. Places like Phuket, Krabi, Hat Railey, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Chang, and finally ending up in Koh Tao where Uwe is building a house as of the time I’m writing this. We had a good journey together. We each purchased Thai made motorbikes in Ranong, Thailand. They are Tiger 125cc four stroke motorbikes. Similar to a scooter back home but a little bigger and they have a four speed manual transmission. All and all a good bike, but not the most comfortable to travel distance on. I have about 6,000 kilometers on mine now.

I’ve met alot of interesting people along the way and have been in some places that before I’ve only dreamt about. My plan now is to travel through Laos then on into Vietnam and lastly Cambodia. We’ll see how it goes, one thing I’ve learned about travel is that things rarely go as planned.

Well, thats it for now. I’ll do better at keeping this updated for those of you who are interested. Tonight I’m off to go check out a Laos discoteque with some Swedish friends I met last night. 🙂 Should be a blast!!
