I survived Vang Viang- with only a few bruises and a lot of great memories to show for it.

I spent a total of three days in Vang Viang and I have to say it's been a blast, due in full to the great group of people I was with (same group from Luang Prabang). A tiny little town along the river, Vang Viang is full of bars, restaurants, internet cafes and drunken rowdy 20sthgs wandering around with dazed looks on their faces. Though we tried twice, each time we got talked out of tubing (the river was really low because it's dry season and so apparently tubing isn't much fun) so instead us oldies spent our mornings eating at the Friends/Family Guy/Southpark restaurants (comfy little restaurants that show endless episodes of one of the above series) and the evenings at the bars at the start of tubing playing beer pong (with whiskey), collecting bracelets, dancing and jumping off the platforms. I had my best valentines day yet in Vang Viang, bonded with then said goodbye to my kiwi and auzzie friends and then began my journey with Angie (who brought me a stack of Lara bars from home, yay!) Vientiane today then on to Cambodia tomorrow!
