Out of touch.

I havn't posted here for a while, mostly because I have been having too much fun in Vang Vieng! I tubed for 3 days in the end. It was wicked I met so many people and alot of them are going to Hanoi around the same time as me.

I came all the way up to Luang Prabang again thinking I could get the bus from here to Hanoi. I cant. I have to go all the way back down to Vientiene which is a pain but it is my fault and there is nothing I can do unless I wait here for a week and get a flight which I definatly cant be bothered with, as nice as this town is.

So that is basically the deal now. I leave this evening to Vientiene and am there for a day, then it is off to Hanoi tomorrow night. The bus to Vientine is 9 hours and the bus from there to Hanoi is 24. Needless to say it is going to be horrible!

Yesterday I went to the waterfalls here in Luang Prabang, they are beautiful!! I heard about and [eventually] found a really great natural infinity pool overlooking the valley. Noone really knows about it so I was there on my own untill another group came down. The way there is pretty treterous [spelling], I almost died. Twice. I ran into Sophie and her friend whos name escapes me, who I had met tubing. They also thought you could get a bus from here to Hanoi but they left Vang Vieng a day before me so they left last night to Vientine and got a flight instead.

I met Chris again last night, he had just got off the slowboat. I met him in Pai first, then Chang Mai and now here. We decided we wont meet again because he is going north in Laos now and he is not going to Vietnam. We went bowling [the thing to do in the evenings here] and are meeting up for breakfast this morning in half an hour [I am killing time in the internet cafe] with some other people we met last night but whos names escape me as usual.

Oh yeah I almost forgot I ran into Julian yesterday!! It was awesome but we didn't get a long chat because I was mid tuktuk ride and the driver wasn't too keen on stopping for long. He left last night so I didn't get to see him again which is a shame.

So I think that is all that has been going on in a crazy non-chronological order. I guess I will fill you in on the details of my sure to be exciting bus ride to Hanoi in a few days.
