We definately took it easy in Vang vieng. It was the best fun place in Laos!!! W spemnt 2 days tubing, I didn't know what tubing was so what a surprise. U practically have a big tube, a tuk tuk takes u to the top of the river and after u sit on the tube and start to slowly go down along tthe river, and there are swings and slides for u to use to dive in the water. Also the great thing is tha there are bars on both sides of the river, and the staff would throw u a rope and drag u over to the shore. The little bars have volleyball pitches made of mud, we tried out, so hard, we ended up covered in mud, so dirty, amack to relax, music... It s really fun. We also did some kajaky with our friend Toi, a guy from the restaurant we always ate in, really nice fella, the last night he even sat down with us for a drink!!! We spent most of the time with Wim, Katy, Kyle and cieran, and the first day it was Wim's birthday, so big celebration for him, a bit of drinking during the tubing, a chocolate cake in the evening and a bit of dancing at the Q bar afterwards. The guys left to Ventienne, while me and Brian decided to relax one more day on a bar along the river. The chairs are practically beds, u could sit there for ever!!! And most of the bars play Friends and Family guy over and over, very addictive!!! And there he is, Mike just arrived from Luang Prabang found us and joined us for the last dinner at toi's. And after a big storm with thunders and lightnings it's about time to leave this little paradise on earth... Vientienne is waiting for us...
