Vang Vieng, Laos 6-10 April






Party central - party island (Yatesy I think you need to organise the footy trip here!). We went tubing on the first day. We have been looking forward to this for a jolly long time and it didn’t disappoint! You hire a tube, the tuk tuk drives you up the river right next to the first bar. There are bars on each side all providing various forms of entertainment. Free shots, plenty of beer, loud tunes pumping, massive rope swings, zip lining and slides, one called the death slide (where many people have come to grief).

Katie got the ball rolling, tackling every ride possible. It’s like a massive amusement park on water, you could imagine the look of excitement on Katie’s face, from start to finish. A huge party, all day, everyday. Adrienne provided us with the days first buster, by not letting go of the zip line-only to fall on her head. Kevin was then not to be out done. The force of the ‘stop’ on the zip line flipped him one and a half times through mid air before crashing into the water. We all abandoned that ride!!

A bike ride to the caves and the blue lagoon was unbearably hot- I think Jay wrung a litre of sweat from his shirt! Hottest day we have had by a streak. The road out there was comparable to riding on giant rocks. There was little to no sign posting which resulted in us getting conned into the wrong caves initially. The caves were humungous and the cool change was a needed relief.
