Bit of slow start of the day which is of no surprise since Tim and I only got back to the hostel in the early hours. Later went out with Barbara-Jean to have a look around the city. The city is extremely busy, with mopeds everywhere; a far contrast ... Read more >

We had arranged for an elephant trek into the jungle today. So with two of us cramped into a tiny bamboo basket balance on top of the elephant we slowly made our way into the jungle. I was only too please to break for lunch by the river. The ... Read more >

Had a relaxing day. Went to check out the market (Same as every other). Had my hair cut for 75p, which for three quarters of an hours work, is a bargain. That’s pretty much it for today!

Had a lazy day. I had look around the market and later chilled out on the sundeck at the guesthouse. A few of us from the guesthouse grabbed a lift off the local moped owners to take us to the lake to watch the sunset. By this time it had gone ... Read more >

Hired some bicycles and rode to a volcanic crater lake called Boeng Yeak Loam (or something like that) We relaxed for a few hours, taking the occasional dip in the clear blue waters to cool off from the midday sun. Tried one of the local drinks;... Read more >

The bus ride to Banlung in the Ratanki Province was extremely bumpy as we hit the potholes and dodged the oncoming traffic. It was of no surprise that the rear tyre blew and ripped to shreds!!! After a check roadside repair we were back on route.... Read more >
