Hello everyone, Joanne writing today to fill you in on all the latest craic! Next stop for the travelling trio was Vang Vieng in Laos. I knew very little about Laos before i came to Asia but i had heard lots of good reports from other travellers and no wonder why.. it's party party party! The people are so laid back, really friendly and they always greet you with a massive smile. The New Year in Luang Prabang was brilliant and the good times were to continue in Vang Vieng!!

Hi everyone it's Claire here again. I have to admit that I am so excited about this blog entry. Our time in Luang Prabang has to one of the highlights if not thee highlight of our hols. We arrived in Luang Prabang airport late on Sunday evening (13th April). The airport was so small it almost felt like we were landing on someones back street. We queued up to get our Visa's and the staff were all so happy and friendly given it was their New Year and they were working. Anyhow got into a taxi and made our way to [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone! Joanne here again. Well after our rainy 5 days in Hanoi and Halong bay the travelling trio were seriously craving some sun! Well we had went to so much trouble in Thailand to start building a colour there was no way we were letting it fade ;) No but seriously, we had enough of the madness of Hanoi, the millions of motorcycles, the honking of horns, the junk shops, the rain, the smell, the rats... ok you have probably guessed by now i did not like Hanoi much. Thank god Halong bay was stunning or I would have been [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, Claire here again writing about a brand sprank new country! Well we landed in Hanoi-Vietnam earlyish on Sunday morning (about 2 weeks ago now at this stage!). The airport reminded us a little of Belfast City Airport but thankfully the time hasn't went in that fast! We jumped in our taxi and asked to be taken to our Hotel. Little did we know what Vietnam had in store for us. The taxi ride alone was an experience. First of all we had forgotten that they drive on other side off the road..well they're supposed to anyway but I think [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, Claire here again with her late entry..whoops-I guess we're just having too much fun! Teehee. Angela finished the last blog by telling you all that we celebrated St.Patrick's Day in Koh Samui. We had such a fab night but needless to say the next day was far from productive. We had what we are now calling a 'lazy day'..as if every day isn't like that on holidays!! The day after that however was very action packed. As the girls have already mentioned we fell in with some boys in Tropical Murphy's. One of them decided to take us on [View Full Entry]
