First week in Lao

Lao or bust

Welcome to our blog. As you would expect we had a few technical hitches getting on to our blog, but all appears fine now. We are in Luang Prabang and settled in very nicely. Our hotel is right across the road from a Buddhist wat, as they call them here, and the monks come past at 6.15am each morning after a wake-up call from a very large drum. During the first week here there was also a night market right outside, so there was plenty of colour and movement for the children. The twins are getting plenty of attention, they are a bit of a novelty here. I will keep this one brief as we are about to go on a day trip to a waterfall.
