The Adventures Of Me And My Rucksack

What can i say???? When i booked my ticket on the night bus i thought it would be like any other night bus...... hard seats hot and cramped... oh no!!!!!

This bus was amazing..... It had reclining seats with blankets and cushions, Air-con, you got dinner (which was good) and cold drinking water!!! If that wasnt enough.... as i was just getting comfortable the wide screen TV at the front of the bus buzzed to life to play............ HARRY POTTER!! Had all my christmases come at once ;-)

Well i slept really well and i'm now safley in Pakse..... My Flight leaves for Cambodia in the morning so i'm gonna go exploring for the day!!!

Well i've just got completely soaked on my way here!!!!! Its like a monsoon out there..... its nasty!!!! I can hardly hear anything the rains so load!!!!! I wewnt to get the bus to Vang Vieng this morning at 10.30 but because there wasn't enough people on it...... it was cancelled till 1!!! Luckily my pal Ruth and Sharon wanted to get the bus too so i had them to wait with!! The bus took about 7 hours it wasn't too bad the bus was cool!!! Unknown to us till we got there the route we took called 'Route 13' can be quite dangerous.... in 2003 11 people were killed by hijackers and 31 people were injured..... nothing majors happened since 2003 tho so..... happy days!!!! We survived ;-)!! I've been in vang Vieng a couple of hours and its really nice and chilled.... its also extreemly wet but i'm sure that'll pass!!! The three of us are sharing a triple room and it works out soooo cheap!!! I can't remember the name of the guest house but its really nice and cheap!!! Laos Is gorgeous so far..... i love it!!! Its still a bit undiscovered so its not too hard to get away from tourists!!! There are hills and mountains saurrounf\ding Vang Vieng so it really pretty!!! Tommorrow we're going to tubing.... i'm really looking forward to it.... should be awesome!!! I'll let you know how it goes!! I'm also gonna do a bit of caving while i'm here!!! Should be a good crack!!!!
