We are at a waterfall in laos Hi!
We have arrived in Vietnam now after a THIRTY hour bus journey haha!! We drove for seven hours and then so typical of Asian people they just stopped the bus at this random bus stop/hotel thing from 2am - 5am to wait for the border to open. Nobody told us what we were waiting for though and nobody told us this was going to happen when we bought the bus ticket haha! Anyway at 5 we sat off again but only for about 20 mins, then we had to go on foot to get our passports stamped, which was such a walk away! Then when we did all of that we had to all unload out bags and carry them literally 20 metres over the actual border from Laos to Vietnam and then we had to reload them. I can't tell you how disorganised an painful it was lol! And then we had another ten hours more to travel and our bus driver was crazy! Taking over every single driver on the road haha! And someone next to g threw up and it stank, so gross! Anyway! Laos! Vang vieng (I think that's how you spell it?) was def
one of my fave places so far. This was the place where you go tubing. Tubing is where tourists rent a rubber ring for the day and float down the river stopping at bars on the way. And it was so so so much fun. Probably the best day travelling so far. Had such a funny time! The first place we went to in Laos was called Luang Prabang. It was a really pretty city, but everything in Laos closes at 12 at night so there is only one place open to go out which is the bowling alley which was surprisingly really fun! It was just so random, I thought I was going to a club called the bowling alley but when I opened the door and actually saw lanes, fluorescent lights, heard no music and saw no dance floor I was sadly mistaken!! But still had so much fun, everyone just mixes with everyone 😊 unfortunately thought for the second two nights I was quite ill again 😞 one of te girls rooms in the hostel we were at in Luang Prabang had a spider the size of my hand in it!!!!!! It was so scary, and such
a laugh watching all of us try veryyyyyy carefully to remove it from her room. Lots of screaming and laughing haha. Then in the morning me and g hadn't paid for our room on the third night cos we forgot and the owner just walked in our room at 8 am and starte shouting at us in Laos, we had no idea what she was saying so we just ignored her lol... But then she started cleaning up our bathroom! And then moved into our room and started cleaning the clothes and making it neater! I was like 'erm, can you leave...please? What are you doing.....?' It was so weird! But we just let her do her thing...! Lots of love xxxxxxxxxx
