Best wishes to all those making the trek down to Canberra this weekend for their personal challenges in either the Marathon Eve 5 or 10km or marathon or 50km events.
I'll be thinking of you.
This will be necessarily brief, as it is a rainy Friday afternoon in Vientiane and Bob and I are waiting to catch our bus (allegedly special VIP, we will see) to Pakse in the south tonight at 7:00pm local time. The internet shop is packed and I can't stop yawning and am finding it hard to get motivated. Will leave all the tourists here and go for a walk (and maybe sneak in another excellent Cafe Lao) before the 12 hour bus journey. If all goes well, we then hope to jump on a chicken boat down to Champasak where we will stay for a couple of days before heading up to the Bolvens Plateau. I don't expect that there will be great, or much internet access until we hit Vietnam in about a weeks' time. Our Lao visa's expire on the 14th of April at any rate! It was quite a bit of fun and games in getting them renewed yesterday.
So, lots of travel in the next few days and not much contact. Take care and look after yourselves! Canberra Marathon in 2007!

Good luck with the little trip. Looking forward to hearing from the next internet cafe.
