Wake up at 7am again and get ready. Head out at 8 for breakfast but the man has already arrived to take us to Vang Vieng. We get in the van with André and Thiago and we are on the way. Before we leave Luang Prabang we pick up 3 French girls. Everyone is quite squished in but we are on the way AGAIN.

About 30 minutes outside Luang Prabang we stop to pick someone else up. This someone else turned out to be 4 people, a lady with 3 children who squeezed into the front 2 passenger seats.

An hour later we stop to pick 1 more person up who sits next to me. The French girls get annoyed at the driver for keep picking up people. At about 12 we stop at a services for lunch (still not hungry so didn't eat anything) and a quick toilet break.

On our way again at 12:40 and in less than an hour we arrive in Vang Vieng we are dropped off at Malany villa 1 so take a look around and decide, for 60,000kip, to stay here. Drop our stuff off and go down with the boys for lunch. Im still not hungry but order fried rice to try to eat it - had about 4 bites.

Take a Tuk Tuk (quite expensive) to the Blue Lagoon. To get to the Park and the Lagoons you have to cross the river on a really rickety bridge (like something off of a Top Gear challenge) - we had to pay to get across too! Once across we travelled down a really bumpy road for about 20 minutes which is so painful but the beautiful scenery makes up for it.

Arrive at the lagoon and have to pay an admission fee? :O hopefully is is the last thing to pay extra for! First, we decide to venture into the Poukham cave. To get there you have to climb the mountain for about 10 minutes - like rock climbing it was so steep. Found it really difficult to climb as still had no food in me, nor energy. Once inside take a couple of photos and then climb back down to cool off in the blue lagoon.

Rikka and Thiago jump in first from the highest branch of the tree. I forgot my ear plugs and didn't want to jump in so just sit in the lagoon to take photos :) once out of the lagoon, I really need the loo so have to go to buy loo roll and rush over to the toilets.

Get back on the Tuk Tuk just before 6 to head back to town. Get back to the room for showers and then go out for food. I order pizza (fancied something western) and managed to force feed myself about half of it, them just relax watching friends at this place. Head back to the hostel at 10 to go to bed and fall asleep immediately.
