We woke up to rain again this morning, it wasn't coming down too hard so met Sam and Steph anyway. We got breakfast and stayed in there until it had passed and the sun had come out. We walked to rent our tubes because we were definitely doing it today! We had to fill out forms which pretty much says its not their fault if you die. In the past this was the place to be in Laos, there were bars and pubs lining the river and people would climb out of it to the bar th...

It's now been six months to the day since we set off on our trip, I can't believe it's been that long! We got up this morning and it was raining, we went to the restaurant at the front of our guesthouse to connect to the wifi to see if Sam and Steph would prefer to meet later instead. 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...

We got up early this morning as our bus was supposed to pick us up at 8.30am. We sat outside our guest house waiting, the owner offered to ring the company at 9.00am as they hadn't turned up yet. Whilst talking to him we asked how bad the roads were, he said he used to drive the buses on this route and there are 3600 corners, argh! Still at 9.45am there was no sign of anyone so he rang again. At 10.00am a tuk tuk turned up and a guy on a scooter, this was for us....

The weather was much better than yesterday so it was a perfect day for going to (Kuang Si) waterfalls. We met Sam and Steph for some breakfast then got a tuk tuk to take us there. Once there we saw the bears again, we had got there for feeding time which meant they were a lot more active than last time. The people we got the tuk tuk with last time had said they'd climbed to the top of the waterfall and went swimming in a private pool which you weren't supposed to...
