We have all had a good sleep, the rooms are really nice we went down and got some breakfast. After breakfast we booked our train tickets, we've got two upper beds and two lower beds so hopefully we'll be near each other. Our pick up from the hotel will be at 3.00pm. We went back up to our rooms to get packed, we checked out at midday. The wifi wasn't working at our hotel so we went to find a cafe where we could get some for a little while. We went back to the hot...

We got up early this morning as we had to be at the bus ticket office for our pick up at 9.30am. We had arranged to meet Sam and Steph for breakfast at 8.00am by meeting them at their place. We knocked on their door, it took a while for them to open it. Once opened they realised what had happened, they'd slept in they were panicking. We said we'd go for breakfast and wait for them there.

When we checked the messages they had said they'd been up all night being sick and hasn't slept so they wouldn't be going tubing today. We said we'd all go tomorrow instead togethe...

Late up again today, we met Sam and Steph to get something to eat around midday. We decided that we'd have a walk and check out the tubing for prices and see where you set off and come back in. We had a walk down to a bridge past the tubing office, it all looks pretty easy to organise. We walked over the bridge and had a look around and a bit of an explore before coming back across and finding somewhere to chill for a bit. In Vang Vieng there are loads of cars wh...
