SE Asia tales

Julia and I are currently in a UNESCO-listed town in northern Laos named Luang Prebang having a four-day rest after the epic bike trip. No, I don't know where the money is coming from, either. It's a beautiful town and very different from Vietnam. We've done a bit of white-water canoing and lots of walking (and eating). The French used to run Laos and were very poor landlords but great cooks. We're back to Hanoi on Friday for a few more days of hectic city life and then home on January 27. Guy Allen will be doing an update of the video posted below with a surprise ending and some romance to add a bit of spice to the relentless bikes going up and down roads. It was a great trip, though, and Tood fitted in like a hand in a glove. The rest of the group would have voted me off the island before him. I'm having a bit of trouble loading pictures but I'll try in a new post.
