I have tried the blaster once &#8211; in our<br>room &#8211; and succeeded only in getting my pants and the floor wet &#8211;<br>not my bum clean.

The bikes had just the one gear each, so thankfully the terrain was all pretty flat &#8211; and the whizzing referred to above was admittedly limited to the slightly ...

... brother Mouse, which helps to bring books and reading materials to rural areas lacking education resources. On weekdays they hold drop in English classes for locals of all ages. Sometimes it would be one-on-one tutoring (I loved practicing the ABCs and basic vocab like colors and body parts with an adorable 6 year old boy) and sometimes the place would be packed (I spent one session with with a group of 5 teenage girls who wanted to pick my brain about American slang and ...

... river, eating beside the river, drinking beside the river etc...its been really nice just not having to be on a bus or train!<br><br>Then we spent the day at a beautiful waterfall, we climbed the steep muddy climb to the top, in the rain, and although the view from the top wasn't much to write about, the heat made the swim in the lower levels of the waterall blissful! Although, we did get covered in Leeches! It was disgusting at first, and although a little painful having to ...

... were on the boat with me and we all headed to SpicyLaos Backpackers to see if they had rooms. I ended up in a dorm room for roughly $6 U.S. a night. Last night I walked the city, through the night markets and by the river, eating at food stalls along the way. The city is smaller and quite laid back.

Not my cup tea. I tolerated it for about 45 minutes, I don't think Daniel was feeling it either so we went to the bowling alley. 5 lanes, 50 wasted backpackers, and terrible music. We sat by the bar and I had a gin and tonic. That lasted about 30 minutes and we took it to the house. I've yet to ...

... travel guide came to mind and then the 'what on earth am i thinking' phase ticked in my apparent laid back mind. So it was basically knees to chest the whole way, but we could all just about talk and had a great laugh on the immense 7 hour white knuckle ride. The dangers were soon forgotten, as the beauty of the surrounding landscape slowly opened up to us. What an incredible journey along one of the most famous rivers in the world! We stopped ...

... village was populated by a hill tribe who were of different appearance to the Lao Loum we were used to seeing. Some young girls, dressed in colourful traditional garb and wearing hats decorated with multicoloured pompoms, were playing a game that involved sedately throwing a wicker ball to each other. Most of the passengers were itching to take pictures of these girls but none dared to be the first one. In due course though, the Italian stepped forward and snapped them, thus starting ...
