We arrived in Vang Vieng after three days of intensive cycling through the mountains, so we were keen to have some fun relaxing in the tourist hot spot.  It was a tiny village consisting of bars, restaurants and guesthouses.  All the bars played Friends episodes and sitting at any one of the restaurants, you could hear [...]

The route has been planned, the kit not quite organised and the first aid kits filled to the brim with a combination of mosquito spray, dissentry medication and malaria tablets… what a treat!
So with slightly less than two weeks left before embarking upon this epic adventure, it seems like an apt time to look in [...]
