After the excitement of the Plateau I thought I had better quit whilst I was ahead and get to Laos' capital, Vientiane, to top up my rapidly depleting cosmopolitan reserve....Hmmm. Funny city. Absolutely nothing to here other than visit a few Wats (temples), a wannabe Arc De Triomphe and some outdoor aerobics classes that I couldn't have joined in as I would have been laughing too much at my co-aerobicers (watch for the guy in the blue shorts). To be honest I don't think things were helped by the 11 hour bus journey I had to endure from the south and the cold weather. That said I met some girls on the bus and we managed to find our own beer pump and a herbal sauna with the stupidest cat in the world. Sadly my picture doesn't do it justice but if you see the cat and imagine a burn down its entire spine from sitting to close to the sauna's furnace. I also bumped in to Jessie and Lyndon's friend, Lloyd, who is without doubt the most incredible human in the world...without arms he can drive, smoke and live life like most of us with arms...you try smoking a cigarette or unlocking a car door with your feet.

wow sarah, how have you done so much shit in such a short time? I have only just seen your blog and it is incredible and some really beautiful pictures. I am soooooo happy that you are, by the sounds of it, loving it (and of course there are tough days that make the sweet ones sweeter)
I have no idea what you plans are, if you are heading north from where you are or if you are going back down south to the islands in Thailand first before going to Nepal. I have a few recommendations for you, but particularly I have a big recommendation to go and see a Brazilian friend of mine who mostly lives down on Kao Phang Gang in a place called Had Juan, if you are anywhere near there, go there, there are much less tourists than Kao Samui and other parts of Kao Phang gang, when you arrive ask for Louis and tell him you are a frined of mine, he teaches Yoga and he will show you around and introduce you to a load of beautiful things, places to eat, maybe some yoga classes and a load of nice people. To me that place was some kind of paradise, especially with the community I was suddenly made a part of because of knowing him.
I am thinking of you
and am so happy(in the wet ,cold and stormy winds of a London evening) that you are out there, living your dream.
You go girl !!!
you are inspiring me again
Love
Kendal
