Tom and Vera write a blog (in German) about their experience on a trekking tour with White Elephant Adventures.  Find their blog HERE, click on the Laos tab and then expand more (mehr) to read about their recent experience on a home-stay in Luang Prabang.  They describe a fantastic and challenging journey during a warm and very green time of the year late in the rainy season in Laos.  They have a great series of pictures from their tour in the fotos section as well.
