I went off zip lining leaving Shaun to sort out our onward travel to Laos and accommodation in Luang Prabang. He had a nice day chilling by the pool once he had sorted things out then when I got back we had yet another swim (I'm not sure how I'm going to cope in Laos where pools don't seem so prevalent!) then another trip to the night bazaar for dinner and the first real shopping of the trip (I've been very restrained!) some Thai tie pants and a scarf later my need for retail therapy has somewhat lessened! We also bought a whole lot of snacks for our next few days on the move. We are currently on route to Chiang Khong where we will spend the night before crossing the border into Laos tomorrow and then heading down the Mekong on a slow boat for two days. I'm really looking forward to the boat trip.
So far we seem to have done pretty well in terms of brining suitable clothing, there a few things which were chucked in our packs last minute that we don't seem to need like a charger for a phone we didn't bring! But other than that we seem to be going quite well. We were on the look out for sleeping bag liners but haven't been able to find them unfortunately so will just have to cope without them.
I've been really impressed with the abundance of free wifi, so far we haven't needed to pay for Internet usage at all. Not sure what will happen over the next few days so will post this when I can but not sure when that will be!
