Laos

Hi,

Just a short update to say that after 2 days on the slow boat, we have finally reached Luang Prabang in Laos. The journey, although rather uncomfortable, was very beautiful and we got to see some fantastic views along the huge Mekong river.

First impressions are very good - the people are nice, and a few have been totally fascinated with Laurence's beard! It's very interesting how some French influences have lingered around, such as cafes, good french baguettes and crepes!

This morning, I had a little fall and hurt my foot, but it's nothing serious - probably just some bruising, but it meant we had to cancel a cool boat trip to the local waterfalls.

So we're off to do a bit of sight seeing now and soak up the Laos culture at a very slow hobbling pace.

Lots of love,

Rozzi and Laurence
