So... we'd heard about the tubing in Vang Vieng (Laos) from travelers far and wide and we were rather skeptical, imagining it to be Blackpool on water. We were quite close but it turned out to be a lot of fun! We rocked up to the river at around 2pm with our rubber inner tube and were faced with basically a massive riverside party which you float from bar to bar on your tube. Unfortunately we don't have picture as we didn't trust ourselves with our camera that close to that much water but if you imagine the videos you've seen of the USA's 'spring break' (woooooo) on the side of a river you've pretty much got it!
There were also certain 'activities' you could do. So I swung off a trapeze into the river and Mike jumped off a high dive board and went on the biggest slide ever! And the best thing was we also bumped into some guys we met on the boat trip in Nha Trang so we boogied on down with them until we realised we were late for getting our tube back and would be fined - wooops!
Earlier that morning we explored Vang Vieng which itself is a beautiful place surround by mountains. We went to a massive cave and got to swim in the 'blue lagoon' which was the smallest patch of water but it was amazingly clear and went into a cave which was cool!
Vang Vieng was short but sweet but it defiantly gave us a taste of Laos and we're a bit disappointed we can't spend longer here!
