During our long stay in Luang Prabang we went for a trek up the mountains and through the jungle. First of all, I must say that we were so so lucky that it didn't rain seeing as we've been having the monsoon showers every day since we've been in the city for about an hour a day. The trek was[...]]]> Sun, 13 Jul 2008 08:14:00 +0200 18e9375055ab85bcea5e4df22d320f41 http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-21198413-6.html#anchorComment http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-21198260.html
What a charming old French colonial town!!! We only intended on staying in the city for 2-3 days and have been here for 5 days so far. When we got off the Slow Boat we were struck by a feeling of greatness, a feeling of history and off something just a little bit different. We walked through[...]]]> Sun, 13 Jul 2008 07:53:00 +0200 abf7398d36775d1ddf57c21b95d8becf http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-21198260-6.html#anchorComment http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-21198147.html
After crossing the Thai boarder in the North, at Chiang Khong, we arrived in a little Lao village called Huay Xai. We got our visas done, changed our money into Kips and then took a "Slow Boat" down the Mekong River. The trip down the river took 2 days : on the 1st day we spent 6 hours floating[...]]]> Sun, 13 Jul 2008 07:32:00 +0200 ed3dc06fac3642acfdf8823747c8c742 http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-21198147-6.html#anchorComment http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-21057753.html
Well we survived the trek ..... only just!!!! We thought that the trek we had booked would be a real touristy attraction but we were nicely mistaken : it was hard walking straight up muddy mountains, walking down very slippery mountains, walking in the rain, walking in the heat.... but we made[...]]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:08:00 +0200 485f7a19e08441747e4df58c98c5399d http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-21057753-6.html#anchorComment http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-20953918.html
After taking the Low Cost company "Air Asia", we arrived in Chiang Mai early yesterday morning. It felt so good to be back in Thailand : the friendly people, the heat, the food, the temples, the smells (sometimes!!!)... We spent the day looking around the town, ordered our favourite Thai meals,[...]]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 15:18:00 +0200 1c92e3ef8e877523f99cc1b8583b6b3e http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-20953918-6.html#anchorComment http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-20953837.html
That's it, we left Australia on the 29th of June 2008 and arrived early morning on the 30th in Kuala Lumpur, or as they call it : KL. It really felt good to be back in Asia, when that heat and humidity hits you even though it's only 7am, the people are so friendly and we couldn't wait to get[...]]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:44:00 +0200 a4bbc33d58293a868eac4907c4afa8ff http://froggies.downunder.over-blog.com/article-20953837-6.html#anchorComment
