SORRY FOR THE DELAY PEOPLE So week 6 kicked off with a late arrival in Thakhek, thanks to a broken down bus in which we think someone stole our fucking camera.

We weren't on the same flight, I was booked onto a Kingfisher plane whilst he went all upper class on me and flew with Etihad - and by god did I feel the difference. After an excruciating 9 hour flight to Mumbai (sleepless and foodless, the Lamb Goolash on offer was way below par) I had a two hour stop over there.
