This is the life!!! Although its rained solid for 3 days, we dont care, as we can sit in restaurants on beds eating and watching friends/the simpsons!!! Very tempted to stay forever.... We did manage to do some tubing though, very good fun. Its really just like floating on a lazy river ride at a water park, although it is the rainy season and the river was very high and not very lazy at all!! Still we had fun, stopping off at the many bars on the way, some even brought out fires to warm us up! The river floating bit is supposed to take about 2 to 3 hours, however we managed it in about 20 minutes (obviously we had to spend longer in the bars instead!) We steam on now to Vientiene, the capital of Laos ready for our flight to 'nam on Friday. Cant wait! bye for now
