OK - some news just in....we've booked our tickets out of here and are off up to Vang Vieng tomorrow (early - 6am start argh!!). It's kinda between VTE and Luang Prabang and it's the place yu can float on inner tubes...

Went for a fantastic meal tonight - a fiver for 3 beers, 2 Jen drinks and one BBQ (that you do yourselves at your table)...bargain...after we went to a shop that sold those sweets on a bracelet thingys...I think they're made in Buxton...fantastic. Still haven't found any salt and vinegar crisps though yet...
