Beer LAO Hai,
You mentioned the large bottle of beer lao in compare to the small can's in Vietnam. Did you not experience in Halong the traditional "bia hoi". this manually draft beer comes in large buckets of about 1,5 - 2 ltr together with "glasses". The guy that gices you the beer has to operate the tap manually.
The loclas love to drink it together with tourists.
As far as I can remember I paid about 0,50 for a bucket. I guess that is about $ 0,70.
Water babies Glad to hear you are both still having so much fun. Can you believe you've already been going 4 months!
The water looks amazing - I am v. jealous as the only water we have here at the mo is falling from the sky...in copious amounts!
Looking forward to the next update.
Happy travels.

Hi I enjoyed reading your blog. I am looking to go over to Ethiopia soon and was wondering if you pre-planned your flights and accommodation or was just doing it as you went? how long did you stay? Did you meet many other travellers out there? Is it easy to arrange overland transport, or is flight the best option between cities? Thanks.
What a blogathon! Wow! You certainly caught up on all the blogs you couldn't post in Africa!
It sounds like you are having a great time and there are some lovely photos too.
Have a lovely birthday on the 29th Cath - I hope you do something special.

Hello from Us Hi. We just read your blogs in bed with a cup of tea. What a great adventure you are having. CC, well done on facing your fears and going rafting. Remember it is that very trip where Tracey almost broke her leg and had an injury that took months to heal so it can certainly be dangerous. We hope Brent is feeling better.
hi Brent and Cath, Sounds like you are having lots of fun . it is really good following what you are up to . Like your mum Cath love the laundry bit . Take care Love Mum and Dad xxxx
Train ride Hello from California!
I love Egypt! Hope to go back next year as a reunion tour.
Out train ride from Cairo to Aswan was just aweful. What was scheduled to be an 8 to 10 hr trip turned into 17 hours.
In the middle of the night there was an explosion in the car ahead of us. Roof blew off most of the car, and one of our tour members was burnt from the glass luggage rack that fell on her while she was sleeping.
Train stopped, removed damaged car, tranport came to take injured to hospital. Penny got stitches and met up with us later. Luckily nobody was seriously hurt other than a few stitches and minor burns.
Everyone treated us extra nice and we enjoyed our stay despite the train experience.
We were treated so nicely, a couple of us went back 6 months later to attend our tour bus driver's sister's wedding in Luxor :)
