Today the Boys left for there next destination whilst we stayed and celebrated Sadies birthday!
Today we went tubing, which is when you hire a donut ring and float down the Mekong river stopping at bars on the way. There are now only two bars as it’s quite a dangerous activity as everyone is getting drunk in route!
We met at Sadies hostel and went on a truck with the welsh boys to the ticket office. We arrived at the ticket office and I realised I didn’t bring as much cash as I thought! You paid for the tubing but had to pay the exact same amount as a deposit towards the ring! Crazy!
We then all got in the truck again with our rings and was dropped at a random location along the Mekong river. We got our rings and plonked ourselves in the river!
The river current was so fast, it swooshed you out as soon as you got in! The first bar was 5 minutes down the river and when you got close to the bar they would chuck out a rope with a bottle at the end for you to catch so they could pull you in! We had a dance and a drink at the first one. I even got the dj to do a birthday surprise! He ended up stoppping the music and everyone sang happy birthday! I was on edge as no one knew what was going on. After that bar we mounted he rings again to the second bar.
The second bar was not as busy as the one before but still very lively! I got a strawberry ice vodka bucket, was the tastiest thing ever! However I put it down and Jessie accidentally knocked it over!! I scooped it off the mat back into the bucket and drank it! So grossss!
After we had enough we got in the ring and the end was two hours away just floating down the river. Some parts were really dangerous, as it got shallow and rocks would bash into your backs! I got a nasty bruise from one! As it went on for ages we all managed to loose each other! I eventually caught up with Jessie who had waved down a long boat to take us to the end! I ended up getting the worst bruises getting into that boat from the water! I went in head first! We finally got to the end and met the others!
The truck took us back so we could collect our deposits! Then me and Sarah went for dinner as we were starving! We went to a burger place nearby in our swimsuits with no shoes as we had left them at Sadies hostel!
In total we managed to brake two phones today, as the wet bag and the wet proof phone case failed to work! Sarah bought some rice to keep hers in!!
When we got back I showered as I was Attempting to go out but fell straight asleep!
