		<description><![CDATA[The last two posts about new eco lodges in Sri Lanka has got me thinking about the abundance of this sort of place in Asia now, coming under the somewhat subjective heading of an &#8216;Eco Lodge&#8217;. It&#8217;s a very fluid concept, but I suppose it means a place built and run in a way that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After spending a day and a night in the fairly depressing border town (Laos:Thailand) of  Houay Xai we were really keen to start our 3 day "Gibbon Experience" trip.  It had been recommended to us throughout Laos so we were keen to see what all the fuss was about.  The trip involved spending 3 days in the dense northern Laos jungle, living in tree houses high in the forest canopy.  The tree houses are connected to the jungle by large zip wires!  Apart from having a lot of fun, one of the objectives is to try and see one of the black Gibbons which were up to a few years ago thought to be extinct in this part of Laos.  The people that run the company put some of their money back into the local village and pay for the only park rangers in Laos.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The journey from Vang Vieng to Luang Prabang was a painful one.  The air conditioning on the bus decided to break down and the wheel sprung a puncture.  Not unusual occurrences in Laos, but it did make for a long, extremely hot and sweaty day.  The pain was, however, alleviated by the extraordinarily beautiful views surrounding us as we wound our way through central Laos.  They were simply breathtaking!

		<description><![CDATA[Now Vang Vieng is pretty much all about tubing as the numerous tee shirts you see worn in South East Asia advertise.  But Vang Vieng does offer some other great excursions.   The town itself has been shaped with a young western audience in mind and has numerous bars playing Friends on loop.  However its surroundings are quite amazing.  There are rolling hills carpeted with lush jungle dissected by the Nam Song river and a few spectacular caves.
